The Train Runs Over the Camel but Is Derailed by the Gnat Lyrics
As if to be some kind of test
Born out of the boredom
Of who's better than the rest
This time they wouldn't measure
The pointless small details
The only thing that mattered
Was if the "you" prevailed
Maybe it's just some coincidence
That natural selection
Always works the best
What if they didn't count
The molecules that failed
And the only thing that mattered
Were the pieces that prevailed?
Born out of the boredom
Of who's better than the rest
The pointless small details
The only thing that mattered
Was if the "you" prevailed
That natural selection
Always works the best
The molecules that failed
And the only thing that mattered
Were the pieces that prevailed?

Wayne says in liner notes: "A combination of three different songs all delicately linked by a vocal melody.. None of the CDs seems to cooperated with the others.. till the end when a soothing kind of funeral organ plays the same melody out of all four at the same time... I couldn't quite define, exactly, what I was attempting to say.. I could see clearly these great collisions of sounds setting the stage for a speech by some "scientist/preacher" sort of guy, but when he steps up to the podium his logic, which is held by just a thread, eludes him and he's left there kind of talking in circles about an idea that he forever seems to be on the verge of knowing..."
on the verge of knowing
