Those Mysteries (Ron Mael, Russell Mael) - 5:03

Why is there time
Why is there space
Why are there dogs and cats and trees and the human race
And why am I here and not over there
Oh why, oh why

And why are there nuns
And why do they pray
And where do we go when we pass away
And why, when I ask my Dad does he say
Go ask your Mom or just go away
And OK, I'll go away
But they won't go away

CHORUS
Those mysteries
Tomorrow I'll find out all I should know
Those mysteries
I don't even know what I don't even know
Those mysteries
They're hanging 'round and around and 'round and 'round
(x2)

Why is there you
Why is there me
Why does my Mother kiss my Father occasionally
And why am I sore whenever I'm hit
Oh why, oh why

And why is there France
And why is there Spain
And why am I here and why is there rain
And why when I ask my Dad does he say
Go ask your Mom or just go away
And OK, I'll go away
But they won't go away

(CHORUS)

Why is there time
Why is there space
