Not everything has to be just so
nothing has to go according to plan
so don't go off looking for yourself
in the reflective eyes of the ordinary man
Unfocus your eyes
Look up to the skies see a man with blue wings
no he's not here for you yet, but he circles overhead
he never blinks
How do you know that?
How does one know anything?
Welcome to this buttoned up fiasco
this well-to-do mass-casualty event
You say you're looking for an old soul
who can help you steer your multi-sailed dilapidated wreck
Why would you say that?
Why would one say anything?
It's just so
Am I under arrest?
The weatherbeaten four horsemen are taking a rest
So come sit by the fire, enjoy the fire
But first answer the question
It's just so
