lyrics

It came again last night
This time it posed a question
How can I be right
And still believe it when it's gone?

Maybe I should try
When I look in the mirror to recognize
Maybe I should cry
When the face looking back betrays a true fanatical stare
No doubt
Will this be over soon?
When will the answer reveal the question as it was?

I left home that day
Nobody seemed to notice
A road burning gray
meandered in and out of town

Everybody tries
As the memory returns to shut it down
Everybody lies
When the matter concerns the uncontrolled mechanical urge
Inside
Will this be over soon?
When will the answer reveal the question as it was?

The overland route has been discontinued
The radio is playing static and noise
Some passengers are acting restless and lewd
A comedy the audience enjoys

If you can last the week I'll pay you double
Don't ask that question you would like to know
This year's parade has been reduced to rubble
It's gone for good at least they tell me so

The question was answered
The answer was questioned
The question was questioned

The question as it was
