Lyrics

Why Did the Chicken?

How can we tell
if it’s heaven or hell?
Are we going one-way or round-trip?
Will the plot thicken?
Why did the chicken
cross the Mobius strip?

What is the point?
Who runs this joint?
What is the name of the game?
What am I, chopped liver?
When I step in the river
will my feet ever be the same?

Is all as it seems?
Can we die in our dreams?
Is youth wasted on the young?
Is there nothing to fear?
Was Heisinger here?
Has Schrodinger’s cat got your tongue?

Are you coming or going?
Sucking or blowing?
Are you giving a push or a pull?
Are you thick? Are you thin?
Are you out? Are you in?
Is your Klein bottle empty or full?

Does the Pope live in Rome?
Is there anyone home?
Were you the one who was napping
when we learned in the classroom
that noise in a vacuum
is the sound of one hand clapping?

Is this the right way?
Must we do what you say
or were they just suggestions?
It’s a slippery slope.
How would we cope
if there were no rhetorical questions?
