The Flaming Lips Fight Test (commentary)

Tekst piosenki

(The test begins…now)

I thought I was smart, I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue, in always being cool
So it came time to fight, I thought I’ll just step aside
And that the time would prove you wrong
And that you would be the fool

I don’t know where the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin, it’s all a mystery

Oh, to fight is to defend if it’s not now then tell me when
Would be the time that you
Would stand up and be a man
For to lose I could accept but to surrender
I just wept and regretted this moment
Oh that I, was the fool

I don’t know where the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin, it’s all a mystery
And I don’t know how a man decides
What’s right for his own life, it’s all a mystery

Cause I’m a man, not a boy
And there are things you can’t avoid, you have to face them
When you’re not prepared to face them
If I could I would but you’re with him, now I’d do no good
I should’ve fought him but instead I let him
I let him take you

I don’t know where the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin, it’s all a mystery
And I don’t know how a man decides
What’s right for his own life, it’s all a mystery
I don’t know where the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin, it’s all a mystery
And I don’t know how a man decides
What’s right for his own life, it’s all a mystery
I don’t know where the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin, it’s all a mystery
And I don’t know how a man decides
What’s right for his own life, it’s all a mystery

(The test is over…now)
