Meat Puppets Lyrics
"Unexplained"

They are not stars burning in the sky at night

No, no, they're candles in astro-flight

They are not men walking on the streets below

What are they really nobody knows

They are not stars, we are not human

I don't know the reason why

A firefly is not a candle, not a flower in my eye

And so, a rose is not a rose

By that or any other name

Things remain unexplained

I am a tree, dancing on the ocean floor

The air is water on desert shores

There is a face painted on the salty moon

The tree singing this silent tune

They are not stars, we are not human

I don't know the reason why

A firefly is not a candle, not a flower in my eye

And so, a rose is not a rose

By that or any other name

Things remain unexplained

They are not stars, we are not human

I don't know the reason why

A firefly is not a candle, not a flower in my eye

And so, a rose is not a rose

By that or any other name

Things remain unexplained

They are not stars, we are not human

I don't know the reason why

A firefly is not a candle, not a flower in my eye

And so, a rose is not a rose

By that or any other name

Things remain unexplained
