Words and music by bob seger



It's a mystery

How the heart beats

How the sun shines

How our eyes meet



It's a mystery

Lt's a wonder

How we keep from

Sinking under



It's a mystery



All the nonsense

Set before us

Supposed to shock us

But it bores us



All the ennui

All the replays

All the rewrites

All the "can't says"



It's a mystery



Electron guns fire images

They end in interstellar space

Within the year



And through it all

We dance and starve and

Burn and clear



It's a mystery

How they con us

How they sneak til

They're upon us



All the anchors

With their helmets

Getting ratings

With their zealots



All the pundits

All the salesmen

Setting snake oil

To the nation



All the specials

Every rerun

All the penguins

Getting well-done



It's a mystery



It's a mystery

How the heart beats

How the sun shines

How our eyes meet



It's a mystery

It's a wonder

How we ever

Find each other



It's a mystery
