about
Why Is It All Here?
The debut single from Billy & The Great Western Postal Service
lyrics
Hey boy, where did you come running from tearing down that hill?
Making tracks like it's right there on your heels?
You look like you'd seen a ghost
Or the heavenly host
Or the length of the road still before you
Hey boy, what's the meaning of those lines written on your hands
Is it destiny or is life just a fool's decisions?
Don't dig too hard you'll see
That at best your fingers bleed
And at worst you'll find there's nothing there at all
But honestly, I could think about the way you want it
Selfishly, I don't wanna think it's cruel
To wanna see the figures in the night and ask them
Why is it all, Why are we all here?
Bad news if you're running down that hill you're bound to fall
and when you do you know the rocks will always meet you
When there's nothing left of me
But the dust beneath your feet
Find the preacher, and the cynic in us all
