The Test begins —
……..now —
The Flaming Lips - Fight Test
(Official Music Video) [HD Remaster]
I thought I was smart
I thought I was right —
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue
in always being cool…
So it came time to fight —
I thought, “I'll just step aside
And that the time would
prove you Wrong
And that you would
be The Fool…..
I don't know where
the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin
It's all A Mystery
Oh, To Fight is To Defend --
If it's not now, then tell me
when would be the time?
That you would stand up
and Be a Man….?
For to lose, I could accept
But to surrender I just wept
and regretted this moment
Oh that I, I was The Fool….
I don't know where
the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin,
It's all A Mystery….
And I don't know how
A Man decides
What's right for his own life
It's all A Mystery….
'Cause I'm A Man, not A Boy
And there are things you can't avoid,
you have to face them
When you're not prepared
to face them --
If I could, I would
But you're with him now,
I'd Do no Good --
I should have fought him,
but instead
I let him…
I let him take you
I don't know where
the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin,
It's all A Mystery….
And I don't know how
A Man decides
What's right for his own life
It's all A Mystery….
I don't know where
the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin,
It's all A Mystery….
And I don't know how
A Man decides
What's right for his own life
It's all A Mystery….
I don't know where
the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin,
It's all A Mystery….
(but instead I wanna take it)
Mystery…..
-- The Test is over…….. now.
It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old but I'm happy
I was once like you are now and I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow but your dreams may not
Oh, how can I try to explain?
'Cause when I do he turns away again
It's always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way and I know
that I have to go away --
I know I have to go
It's not time to make a change
Just sit down, take it slowly
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old but I am happy
All the times that I've cried
Keepin' all the things I knew inside
It's hard but it's harder to ignore it
If they were right I'd agree
But it's them they know, not me
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
