Madagascar Lyrics
Oh, great and wondrous world
How the dice of evolution came
Up with a surprise
To make these tiny particles come alive
Alive, come alive
Alive, alive
Alive, come alive
Alive, alive
And for them to drape all things
With a cosmic blanket of meaning
When dust cherishes no memories
Makes you wonder
Whether man needs the lie
Like air to survive
Man needs the lie
Like air to survive
How the dice of evolution came
Up with a surprise
To make these tiny particles come alive
Alive, alive
Alive, come alive
Alive, alive
With a cosmic blanket of meaning
When dust cherishes no memories
Makes you wonder
Like air to survive
Man needs the lie
Like air to survive

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
"The lie" = religion. Or maybe, as a secondary interpretation, "the lie" is the inherence of meaning in the universe, i.e. there's no hidden meaning in the universe/life, it just is.
"And for them to drape all things With a cosmic blanket of meaning When dust cherishes no memories"
Could go both ways, I think.
