Eels - Mystery Of Life Lyrics






How does a little baby know how to smile?
How does a cat land on his feet?
Why does it feel like you've been here before?
How do the two perfect people meet?

Pain in my heart, twistin' like a knife
Disappeared just overnight
Good morning, mystery of life

La la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la

How does a mother wake up in the night
When she knows her daughter's sad
On the other side of the earth?
How does she know the kind of day she's had?

Ghosts flyin' all around my life
Sent a message both bold and bright
Good morning, mystery of life

La la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la

La la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la

How does a man lose all that he loves
And find the strength to rise above
Havin' nothing to call his own?
How does he find that he still has love?

No more sorrow, no more strife
Always some daylight followin' the night
Good morning, mystery of life

La la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la

La la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la

    The synth theme played at 3:48 (actually started at 1:10 and played throughout) reminds me of the song "The First Layer" from the Made in Abyss Ost.
