God Knows Why

[Verse]
I could hear just fine last night
And I sat up and it went quiet
My right earʼs gone forever
It was there and now itʼs gone
I used to be in stereo
I used to hear and now I donʼt
Iʼm in mono now forever
It was there and now itʼs gone

[Chorus]
God knows why
God knows why
God knows why
God knows why

[Verse]
I saw a car turn down the street
And knock a skater off his feet
Then he paused in front of me
Before accelerating
I had time to jump aside
Four unwilling people died
Though Iʼd been saying awful things
About my life

[Chorus]
God knows why
God knows why
God knows why
God knows why

[Bridge]
Come on now, let me in
Come on now, let me in
Maybe no reason
Maybe no reason
But you canʼt go back
You know you can't go back

[Verse]
The people made a grave mistake
They watched too much TV
And never exercised their minds
And let their spirits atrophy
Today, you said you dreamed last night
I pulled you through a blue door
Into a beautiful bright light
And then you stood me up tonight

[Chorus]
God knows why
God knows why
God knows why
God knows why

[Outro]
I could hear just fine last night
And I sat up and it went quiet
Iʼm in mono now forever
It was there and now itʼs gone
And God knows why
