Does It Really Happen? Lyrics
That's what you say
Does it really happen to you
Does that explain
This is the season for this display
To take a look
In time to move together
Time is the measure before it's begun
Slips away like running water
Live for the pleasure, live by the gun
Heritage for son and daughter
Down to the slaughter up for the fun
Up for anything.
Could this be true
Does it ever happen to you
And can you prove
That wheels go 'round in reason
You take a step
In time,
To move together
Time is the measure before it's begun
Slips away like running water
Live for the pleasure, live by the gun
Heritage for son and daughter
Down to the slaughter up for the fun
Up for anything
You walk, the way
You take, the path
To be, assured
You make, a graph
The scale, you use
Is all, on black
Be brave, the weight
Will make, the heat
There is, no way
To take, it back
Time is the measure before it's begun
Slips away like running water
Live for the pleasure, live by the gun
Heritage for son and daughter
Down to the slaughter up for the fun
Up for anything
Does it really happen to you
Does that explain
This is the season for this display
To take a look
In time to move together
Slips away like running water
Live for the pleasure, live by the gun
Heritage for son and daughter
Down to the slaughter up for the fun
Up for anything.
Does it ever happen to you
And can you prove
That wheels go 'round in reason
You take a step
In time,
To move together
Slips away like running water
Live for the pleasure, live by the gun
Heritage for son and daughter
Down to the slaughter up for the fun
Up for anything
You take, the path
To be, assured
You make, a graph
The scale, you use
Is all, on black
Be brave, the weight
Will make, the heat
There is, no way
To take, it back
Slips away like running water
Live for the pleasure, live by the gun
Heritage for son and daughter
Down to the slaughter up for the fun
Up for anything

this song sounds like it's about someone who overreacts to stupid lil things and then ends up causing their own demise (metaphorically speaking of course).
This song is an instrumental masterpiece! The lyrics most probably were chosen after the piece was written. feh. Anderson was not with the band during this album. Groovy forildo.
