lyrics

now, my friend julia says we choose our lives
& we choose our parents like we
choose our knives & forks & spoons
and i say that's all very well for you but i can
barely read the newspaper while she consults the runes
try to fight a war with someone you once loved who's holding all the aces
no matter what you choose
you find your muse in the strangest places

i was searching for exactly the right deity to worship
i tried practicing safe sex although it never made me perfect
i thought about the saxophone, i'd be content with that
i tried the banjo
but all it did was terrify the cat
i was cheering the wrong team
depending on the old familiar faces
you win some, lose some, find your muse in the strangest places

i was searching under rocks & stones & dead leaves in the park
i turned to nietzsche, vodka, remington & whistling in the dark
i thought i had a handle on what socrates had said
i had to face it, that after all he's male & white & dead
i was waiting for the angel of the lord to fly down from ablove & grace us
you win some, lose some, find your muse in the strangest places
