Paper, Scissors, Stone - Monkey Swallows The Universe

Up with the dawn is not like you at all, something’s wrong

This is a rare kind of atmosphere in our home

It’s easier to talk after hours when you’re not so dry

Then you can see more clearly what’s important’s alright

And I believe that it will all turn out like sticks and stones

More precious things they have been broken other than our bones

Our only obstacle is time

And time’s a friend of mine… sometimes

We’ve all suffered this way so I know how to find you

These sad seconds are already behind you, don’t wish more away

Oh take what you can from the days that seem fruitless

People are like trees — they should never be rootless… mostly anyway

And I believe that it’s just paper, scissors, stone

We’re out there every day making choices all alone

The only faith we have is weak at best

And we’re all so sure we’re not just like the rest

And like they say it’s all just sex and drugs and rock and roll!

The only difference is that we don’t have to do them all

But while we’re here there’s always time…
