Everything Else Songtext
von Tunng

They speak in a tongue, but they don′t understand

Why do we do this?
We find ourselves here in the fray
Lost in time
Why do we play this
Amazing, stupid, messed-up game?
We drink our tea

Why do we love this?
We bend our bones and wipe our shoes
We need you still
Why do we break this?
We run like kids into a storm
We're not afraid

Why do we eat this?
We gorge ourselves and laugh like mad
We′re high on life
Why do we need this?
We send our joy like tiny kites
And hold on tight


Why do we play this
Infernal game of joy and fear?
We're all still here

20 unbridled things
Awake in the burning tree
20 entangled wings
Asleep in an oak tree
Everything we don't know
Is sealed in a golden ring
20 imagined worlds
Are sewn into everything

Why do we love this?
It makes no sense to be here now
This world of sound
Why do we break this
Traverse each lonely window ledge?
We′re not dead yet


Why do we eat this
And suck in mortal gasps of air?
We comb our hair
Why do we do this?
We love you more than you can know
So let us go

Why do we do this?
We find ourselves here in the fray
Lost in time

20 unbridled things
Awake in the burning tree
20 entangled wings
Asleep in an oak tree
Everything we don′t know
Is sealed in a golden ring
20 imagined worlds
Are sewn into everything

20 unbridled things (why do we do this?)
Awake in the burning tree
20 entangled wings (why do we do this?)
Asleep in an oak tree
Everything we don't know (why do we do this?)
Is sealed in a golden ring
20 imagined worlds (why do we do this?)
Are sewn into everything

20 unbridled things (why do we do this?)
Awake in the burning tree
20 entangled wings (why do we do this?)
Asleep in an oak tree
