The Answer To A Question No One Asked

Down in the city the people strain
To skip the traffic and beat the rain
Below the surface the sewer's vast
He walks among us as an outcast
He is the answer to a question no one asked

Out in the country there is a house
Long since abandoned long since moved out
Up in the rafters a laughing cat
Is drinking milk from a burning hat
She laughs at answers to a question to no one asked...

Out in the desert the ground is split
A tiny flower grows out of it
It's pink and yellow it's holding fast
It drinks no water, it needs no grass
It needs an answer to a question no one asked

Deep in the jungle beyond the vines
There is a crystal as old as time
Now gaze upon it witness the path
Fill up with fire, fill up with ash
Forbidden answers to a question no one asked...

Up in the heavens they sleep all day
The gods don't worry the gods don't pray
They speak in color in simulcast
They know the future they know the past
They know the answers
To a question no one asked
