Wonderin' Why


© 2006 Gene Lipps


So you never heard ‘em play “Hey where did we go?”
You’re biting your fingernails,
Slappin’ them damn mosquitos
While your waggin’ your ponytail
I’m wonderin why
Still wonderin why
Some people come because they’re curious
Other people come because they’re kind
Some people come ‘cause they’re fanatical
While other people never come at all
I’m wonderin why
Still wonderin why


It’s a really loose wire…this cat won’t break it.
No we don’t wanna start a fire
There’s a little too much for you to lose
Hey you been wailing like a siren
I really had to say it… it’s purely educational
Put away the pacifier.. and get your thumb away from your mouth
We can’t afford another blowout..

If you see another chance you better take it
Find a way over that wall
Can you tell when it’s real or when I fake it?
Do you understand the proper protocol?
I’m wonderin why …still wonderin why
You had another dream that you were naked.
Freakin’ out when everbody stared
It came to no surprise that you were shakin’
And pullin’ out your tangled hair.
I’m wonderin why Still wonderin why
