about

A couple of lines in this one were stolen from Mary Oliver's poem, "Ponds," which inspired it.

lyrics

For you, it is so easy
For you know there is no meaning
But me, I have my doubts

We are all as dear as dust
Agreed on that
I am uncrushed by your crucible touch
You only answered my "why" with a "what"

Don't be bothered by the evidence
The lab mice shout
What makes you tick, it is a little sick now
Let's cut that out

Do I give up my head to the sexy systematic mind
And blindly lose my tail to a cold carving knife?

I'm in the world, but not of it
Don't mind pain, but I don't love it
From me to you, have a heart
 
Make no mistake, be a rigorous snake
Let's chew the fat
Float a little rodent my way
Defibrillate for a change – you’re on the witness stand

Don't be afraid to cast aside
The weight of facts
Escaped unscathed from your Bunsen blaze
You've only answered my "why" with a "how"
    
Give me a second, give me one more life
Can't be convicted of the same crime twice
Who am I, mouse or man?
I believe I am that which says that I am

(Not on trial for your errors
Bear no blame for your forbearers
You’re my friend but get now behind me
Certainty is the death of inquiry.)
