Whoops (哎呦) - Blues Traveler[00:00:00]
Have you ever seen an atom [00:00:14]
Little bits of everything floating by[00:00:19]
Take a good look at them[00:00:27]
Collectively they compose[00:00:30]
All you see including your eye[00:00:32]
Brilliant puzzle a living Rubik's Cube[00:00:42]
We think we can figure out and solve[00:00:47]
But we're just monkeys scratching our heads[00:00:55]
Trying to open our ears[00:01:00]
To a chord that just don't seem to resolve[00:01:03]
And we call it wisdom[00:01:09]
Yes intellect in our truest sense of the word[00:01:12]
You see for us security means a harmony[00:01:17]
According to only what we have heard[00:01:21]
And this along and nothing less[00:01:24]
Will ease our heart and our mind[00:01:28]
In the hopes that in feeling free[00:01:31]
We'll reach paradise[00:01:33]
On that hilltop we're still trying to find[00:01:35]
But the possibility exists no matter[00:01:39]
How scary it may seem[00:01:43]
That paradise was once the world[00:01:46]
And it wasn't just a dream[00:01:49]
The earth was our heaven and we didn't know[00:01:52]
There were rules for us to break[00:01:56]
And maybe now we'll find out too late[00:02:00]
What a clever hell we can make[00:02:03]
Whoops whoops whoops whoops[00:02:07]
In this corner weighing in at almost[00:03:09]
Every weight imaginable[00:03:14]
Life and all that surrounds it[00:03:16]
And in this corner[00:03:22]
Weighing in at well [00:03:26]
Not really very much of anything[00:03:27]
A very sound and user friendly idea[00:03:28]
On finally bringing[00:03:31]
That pesky mountain to Mohammed[00:03:32]
Gentlemen at the sound of the harmonica solo[00:03:37]
Take a look at the horizon quiet and still[00:04:54]
You know there used to be Bison[00:05:08]
Gentlemen you may fire at will[00:05:13]
They say this land won't go to waste[00:05:23]
But you gotta wonder how[00:05:29]
You know we're chopping down the air we breathe[00:05:36]
As fodder for the cow[00:05:43]
That's right so we can eat well[00:05:50]
Yes and starve to death[00:05:52]
And say there's nothing we can do[00:05:54]
Because we really[00:05:58]
Don't want to do a goddamn thing[00:05:59]
Look I'm shrugging and so are you[00:06:01]
Oh we can imagine the straightest of lines[00:06:05]
But our fingers can't control the pen[00:06:08]
And it's this frustration that yields relief[00:06:12]
As we say we're just mortal men[00:06:15]
And that means we get to torture a chimpanzee[00:06:19]
And infect him with disease[00:06:23]
Because he screams just like a human child[00:06:26]
While we study his desperate pleas[00:06:29]
But the possibility exists no matter[00:06:33]
How scary it may seem[00:06:37]
That paradise was once the world[00:06:40]
And it wasn't just a dream[00:06:43]
The earth was our heaven and we didn't know[00:06:47]
There were rules for us to break[00:06:50]
And maybe now we'll find out too late[00:06:54]
What a clever hell we can make[00:06:57]
Whoops whoops whoops whoops[00:07:01]
While we're on the subject you know[00:07:08]
My conscience hurts and it will not go away[00:07:09]
So please concoct me some pill I can take[00:07:15]
While I think of something clever to say[00:07:18]
So I can look in my mirror made of polished glass[00:07:22]
And find no need to cringe[00:07:25]
And forget that sinking feeling I'm a dinosaur[00:07:29]
Out on his drunken last binge[00:07:32]
From fossil to fossil dust to dust[00:07:38]
I'll see you all in the earthy crust[00:07:43]
Whoops whoops whoops whoops[00:07:47]
