Bootstrap Paradox Lyrics

Your strange mind reasons thus

The effect, then the cause; that's a plus

Hit the pause and rewind

Change the play, change your mind

Have the cart, then the horse

And the thing runs its course in your Bootstrap Paradox

Vice runs deep, don't you know

It's a crime, it's a joke; way to go

Through the smoke, light the fuse

Be the past, be the news

Oldest hat, just been found

And the world spins around in your Bootstrap Paradox

Make it make sense to me - I've gotta know

You're the basis of your reason and

Your reason's been the basis from the get-go

Nothing makes sense to me - where have I gone

Are you broadening your shoulders so

Your feet have something strong enough to stand on

This new truth blows my mind

We can be what we're not; what a find

Stop the rot, tear it down

Wear a smile, wear a frown

Something old, newly made

And the light seems to fade in your Bootstrap Paradox

You're out to get me - and you're not playing

I'm out to get you - hear what you're saying

Best not come around, there's no common ground here

You try to find me - you light the paper

I try to find you - but you're a vapour

Facts are no defence, there's no common sense here

Make it make sense to me - riddles and doubt

To be anywhere around you is

Like living in an Escher with the lights out

Nothing makes sense to me - checkin' my cup

'Cause I saw you limber up behind

The wall so you could give yourself a leg up

Brave new world, get to class

You can learn what you teach; it's a gas

Be the beach and the wave

Be the soul that you save

Claim alone what you shared

Get the truth running scared in your Bootstrap Paradox
