Ten Mysterious Photos That Can't Be Explained lyrics

Now the angry old men

Say it was better back when

We used to Keep the Aspidstra Flying

Now it may be the case

That we can't change our bike

But there's surely no harm in trying

And ten mysterious photos that can't be explained

Are draining away the best of my day

And fragments of songs that I never wrote

Are wroting in the pockets of my winter coat

Now the world wide web is a wonderful thing

You're just a click away from all of the facts

But there's a downside if you've a curious mind

It's like heroin for auto-didacts

But ten mysterious photos that can't be explained

Are draining away the best of my day

And fragments of songs that I never wrote

Are wroting in the pockets of my winter coat

I've been down rabbit holes

I've seen the rabid trolls

Cackling in the twilight

Of the Age of Reason

One thing I've noticed

As I get older

Common sense, like art

Is in the eye of the beholder

Now the new breed of man

Nothings are flooding my screen

Now they skimmy this I'm God damn sure

They look like reasonable folks

But the next thing you know

Is they're screaming "I don't want your cure!"

And ten mysterious photos that can't be explained

Are draining away the best of my day

And fragments of songs that I never wrote

Are wroting in the pockets of my winter coat

The conspiracy acts

The cyberchondriacs

Gripped by their fear of their own imagination

They switched the filters off

Too much is not enough

You know that you can overdose on information

Ten mysterious photos that can't be explained

Are draining away the best of my day

And fragments of songs that I never wrote

Are wroting in the pockets of my winter coat
