Let The Mystery Be
[Chorus: Natalie Merchant and David Byrne]
Everybody's wondering what and where they all came from
Everybody's worrying 'bout where they're gonna go
When the whole thing's done
Nobody knows for certain
And so it's all the same to me
I think I'll just let the mystery be
[Verse 1: David Byrne and Natalie Merchant]
Some say once gone, you're gone forever
Some say you're gonna come back
Some say you rest in the arms of the Savior
If the sinful ways you lack
Some say that they're comin' back in a garden
But your carrots are in the sweet peas
I think I'll just let the mystery be
[Chorus: Natalie Merchant and David Byrne]
Everybody's wondering what and where they all came from
Everybody's worrying 'bout where they're gonna go
When the whole thing's done
Nobody knows for certain
And so it's all the same to me
I think I'll just let the mystery be
[Verse 2: Natalie Merchant and David Byrne]
Some say they're going to place called Glory
And I ain't sayin' it ain't a fact
But I've heard that I'm on the road to purgatory
And I don't like the sound of that
I believe in love and I live my life accordingly
But I choose to let the mystery be
[Chorus: Natalie Merchant and David Byrne]
Everybody's wondering what and where they all came from
Everybody's worrying 'bout where they're gonna go
When the whole thing's done
Nobody knows for certain
And so it's all the same to me
I think I'll just let the mystery be
I think I'll just let the mystery be
I think I'll just let the mystery be
