The Flaming Lips - Fight Test (commentary) lyrics

(The test begins...now) 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, 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've 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 And I don't know how a man decides What's right for his own life, it's all a mystery (The test is over...now)
