The Great Puzzle – Jules Shear
Once again I have forgotten my final destination after chasing it down too
many suns
So tonight you and I bring desperation to this highway, and we’re not the only
ones
Outside a stillness that could only be summer and we are Mendicino bound
Feeling out of place as the ship that keeps on forward long after it’s run
aground
And I’m thinking ahead too much, but what are we then, when we’re not thinking
at all
I’ve got so many loose ends, dragging behind me, mysteries that want to be
solved
CHORUS:
Like a maze where you could take a thousand paths, Like all the questions
that it does no good to ask
Some might accept it, some might complain, It’s a great puzzle, but you’ve
gotta like games
Like a candle that’s been recently blown out, I can still smell the smoke
>From a chance turned to missed opportunity, my latest enemy of hope
A gambler knows exactly how much you give away with a smile and it’s real
But I only gamble on myself these days, I prefer the way it feels
And I’m thinking aloud too much, giving too much up, I can’t wait to see the
world as it is
And have a whole perception turn from ruins to exception, with the one tiny
detail I miss
CHORUS
ADD:
You’ve gotta like games, and working them through
Figuring out why some win and some lose, and where does that leave me and you
I’ve met coal miners who hate coal, thieves who hate what they stole, and they
think they’ve figured it out
Rich men who sleep preserved in warmth, who can’t be hurt by any storm,
And they think they know what life is about
But it’s a maze where you could take a thousand paths It’s all the questions
that it does no good to ask
Some might reject it, some go insane
It’s a great puzzle, but you’ve gotta like games, It’s a great puzzle, but
you’ve gotta like games
