We're bobbing along in our barrel. Some of us tip right over the edge. But there's one thing really mystifying It's got me laughing, now it's got me crying All my life I'll be death defying Till I know... I wonder wonder why the wonderfalls I wonder why the wonder falls on me I wonder wonder why the wonderfalls With everything I touch and hear and see.
We teeter along on our tightrope Some of us trip and damage our heads Poppin' pills is really stupefying Get you crawling when you could be flying All my life I guess I'll be dying Just to know...
I wonder wonder why the wonderfalls I wonder why the wonder falls on me I wonder wonder why the wonderfalls With everything I touch and hear and see.
Don't you ever think about this life And how strange it all can seem? Only way to find the answers out Is to wake up from its golden dream.
