lyrics

Let's get straight to a popular question
what the fuck is the point in all of this?
A question that keeps a man up at night
staring straight in to the abyss.

Well I've rearranged this puzzle
a million times within my head
not a piece left unseen
nor a word left unread

and as far as I can tell

Life's big demonstration doesn't happen very often
and in our constellation we're all very uncommon
Oh life's big demonstration doesn't happen very often
and in our constellation we're all very uncommon

Now I know
that you're going to tell me
about the millions of stars
with planets just like this
but I'm telling you
it's a mind blowing chance for us to even exist
especially one built like you
doing the things that you do
because you're doing them oh so well
probability stands that at being you
nobody else could excel

or as far as I can tell

Life's big demonstration doesn't happen very often
and in our constellation we're all very uncommon
Oh life's big demonstration doesn't happen very often
and in our constellation we're all very uncommon

So when you're down
at the end of your rope
at the bottom of the well
and theirs no light to be found
know that chances of you
are one in four billion
and that's just the lower bound
and honestly I think that you are
like 10 times cooler
than the man who first sliced bread
let's get a grooving and a moving
because at any second
we all could just drop dead

and like I've already said

Life's big demonstration doesn't happen very often
and in our constellation we're all very uncommon
Oh life's big demonstration doesn't happen very often
and in our constellation we're all very uncommon

Life's big demonstration doesn't happen very often
let's start the celebration before they put us in our coffin
Oh life's big demonstration doesn't happen very often
let's start the celebration we're all very uncommon
