I wish I knew how this all worked Wish I knew how I worked Wish I had some better news to tell I must inform you that the board We jetted to the shore And tallied up the scores And it's not well Oh yeah, pray tell What it the whispering we constantly were hearing behind Expensive noise machines? And where are they now? Impressive dust collectors See, I sought to use them better Now they help soothe me to sleep And block bad dreams I wish there was some other way To keep everybody coming To keep the motor humming happily But I have just received the word From the bird you found so friendly He has deemed you ultimately unnecessary Oh yeah, how strange We would have guessed there would be Plenty for the rest After chasing your untested messes I got too invested And too content And now I wheel around the west end Positively reeling and Have I lost my best friend? Will I ever see him again? I have lost my best friend He has been taken Now I feel forever forsaken And I wish I knew how this all worked I wish I knew how this all worked.
