Lyrics

Ever since I was a little kid I wondered
Why people did the things they did
I wondered why people said the things they said
I used to lie awake at night in bed

& nobody seemed to be what they seemed
& they taught me to stop believing in dreams &
Told me to work & be pretty & breed
But I think & I feel & I need to know why

I fried. I woke up one day & I died. i
Found myself on the other side. oh
Yeah the door was open wide

Philosophy, science, mathematics
Quantum physics...semantics
I don't wanna buy thing they're selling
Meanwhile, all our brains are swelling

Visitors from outer space &
New millennium racists
Oh yes
History is paling
& my surge protection failed, & so

I fried. I woke up one day & I died. i
Found myself on the other side. oh
Yeah the door was open wide

Love is power, love is pure
Love is the only thing I'm sure of
Love is e lec tri ci ty
Felicity, it is life, you see
It is the one thing beyond all control
The multi-dimensional-unmeasurable soul
Try to contain it. try to maintain it
No one can explain it

I fried. I woke up one day & I died. i
Found myself on the
Other side. oh yeah the door was
Open wide
