Which Is Why

You say that it's good reason, "an eye for an eye"
 "A queer bird the fish, sir" must be my reply
 For fresh meat and lodgings I'll stand by your side
 If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride
 All the days after, said all the days after
 All the days after, let fortune decide
 Always and after, sing, always and after
 Death, debt or disaster, let fortune decide
 When absurdity starts to make more or less sense
 Embrace all your demons, then banish them hence
 When clarity flows in the sweet by and by
 And questions are answers, you'll know which is why
 So, if you seek wisdom, I'll tell you once more
 But if you want answers, you've got the wrong door
 Ask me no questions and you'll get no surprise
 "The truth is a cow, sir, that sceptics despise"
 All the days after, said all the days after
 All the days after, let nature decide
 For always and after, sing, always and after
 For lust, love and laughter, let nature decide
 When absurdity starts to make more or less sense
 Embrace all your demons, then banish them hence
 When clarity flows in the sweet by and by
 And questions are answers, you'll know which is why
 Your lips on my own when they printed "farewell"
 Had never been soiled by the beverage of hell
 But they come to me now with the bacchanal sign
 But the lips that taste liquor, they taste so divine
 All the days after, said all the days after
 All the days after, let wit be your guide
 Oh, you may laugh sir, said oh you may laugh sir
 For madman or master, let wit be your guide
 When nonsense begins to make more or less sense
 Life's riddles and puzzles, just banish them hence
 When lucidity flows in the wink of an eye
 And questions are answers, you'll know which is why
