Why Ask Why

Why ask why?
When you know
They only move at night
In your room you play till late
Winding them up and taking a break
Then you decide to go to bed
You know that those move and haunt the dead
Why? Oh why?
When you know
It's a terrible lie
Good people turn to the golden gate
While those who defy always hesitate
Just turn to focus scheme
Where you concentrate to make believe
Why? Why? Oh why?
When you know
The cupboard is dry
Mother shouts "the house of good"
While demons play in the wood
Hunting for peace of mind
It's oh so hard and you haven't the time
Why? Why?
There's no reply
I guess they just
Don't have the time
Mother shouts "the house of good"
While the demons play in the wood
Hunting for peace of mind
It's oh so hard and you haven't the time
Why? Why?
There's no reply
I guess they just
Don't have the time
The picture reads his books
And the daughter loves her dolls
The mother does the washing
And the son cheats the past
Falling on the shelves
Water on the floors
Washing on the table
Carver loves them all
And like the caterpillars
Hanging from space on the wall
He already changed hands
And dreams and smells and crawls
And makes us all
