Do the Dead Know What Time It Is?

歌詞

It's a cobbled dance that no one planned Least of all the dancer, A crap shoot dream you summon From the corner of one eye. If you need an explanation There's a quick and easy answer, Stop thinking for a moment And give this one a try: Just say: It is what it is, What it is, What it is, What it is, Hey, it is what it is, What it is, What it is, What it is, It is what it is, What it might have been, it isn't. An infinity of mornings, And only one shines through. It is what it is, Gonna grab the day we're given Cause it is what it is, And what it is will have to do. You stop waiting for the check to come, The postman's on vacation, Take a job that starts at midnight Give completely up on luck. A scientologist comes knocking, When you move to battle stations, He says "Wait, my name's Mark Anthony, And here's your million bucks." Oh well, It is what it is, What it is, What it is, What it is, Hey, it is what it is, What it is, What it is, What it is, It is what it is, What you had in mind, it won't be Despite your great endeavors The prize comes free to you. It is what it is, If you feel surprised, then don't be, Cause it is what it is, And what it is will have to do. Animals eat animals Creation eats the winner. Fall down to the beetles and start back up again. It is a long way up the chain of life. Not easy for beginners You'll find that it's no easier For elephants or men. But hey, It is what it is, What it is, What it is, What it is, Yeah, it is what it is, What it is, What it is, What it is, It is what it is, It is what it is, What it might have been, it isn't. An infinity of mornings, And only one shines through. It is what it is, Gonna grab the day we're given Cause it is what it is, And what it is will have to do.
