Cause Confusion

lyrics

White summer flowers
look like snow,
though they never
feel the frost.

All of the flowers
blooming bright
probably have some
exact cost.

All of the flowers
and everything else
seem to have
some definite cause.

I had some bad dreams
late last night
then wide awake I
felt quite lost.

I saw some same sights
in my waking life
that I thought I saw first
with eyes closed.

For all of my sights
and all of my dreams
must there be
some definite cause?

There are some bugs
and some plants
that grew to look
like each other.

Some people in love
seem to grow
seem to grow to resemble
one another.

Whether it's simple,
whether it's clear,
there always might be
some definite cause.

What's sure to occur
I haven't heard
but if I do
only time will tell.

Correlate some
coincidence
and you may cause
some grand fake cause.

What causes success
is not definite,
and I'm still looking
for the key to failure.

"Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line
She said that all the railroad men
Just drink up your blood like wine
An’ I said, 'Oh, I didn’t know that
But then again, there’s only one I’ve met
An’ he just smoked my eyelids
An’ punched my cigarette' " ... more
