The Flaming Lips - Fight Test - Live at the Forum, London, UK 1/22/03 lyrics
Artist: The Flaming Lips
album: Fight Test (Live at the Forum, London, UK 1/22/03)
The test begins now
I thought I was smart
I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue
In always being cool
So it came time to fight
I thought I'll just step aside
And that the time would prove you wrong
And that you would be the fool
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And that the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
Oh, to fight is to defend
If it's not now then tell me when would be the time
That you would stand up and be a man
For to lose I could accept
But to surrender I just wept
And regretted this moment
Oh that I
I was the fool
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And that the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life
It's all a mystery
Cause I'm a man, not a boy
And there are things you can't avoid
You have to face them
When you're not prepared to face them
If I could, I would
But you're with him, I'd do no good
I should have fought him
But instead I let him
I let him take you
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And that the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life
It's all a mystery
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And that the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
'Cause I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life
It's all a mystery
And I don't know where the sunbeams end
And that the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
Mystery
The test is over now
I thought I was smart
I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue
In always being cool
So it came time to fight
I thought I'll just step aside
And that the time would prove you wrong
And that you would be the fool
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And that the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
Oh, to fight is to defend
If it's not now then tell me when would be the time
That you would stand up and be a man
For to lose I could accept
But to surrender I just wept
And regretted this moment
Oh that I
I was the fool
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And that the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life
It's all a mystery
Cause I'm a man, not a boy
And there are things you can't avoid
You have to face them
When you're not prepared to face them
If I could, I would
But you're with him, I'd do no good
I should have fought him
But instead I let him
I let him take you
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And that the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life
It's all a mystery
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And that the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
'Cause I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life
It's all a mystery
And I don't know where the sunbeams end
And that the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
Mystery
The test is over now
