lyrics

There is no grand design that we can know from here
There is no smoking gun to make the culprit clear
We're only sure there's time to kill before time kills us
And where we seek our light is still the burning issue

There are as many truths as there are tongues to speak them
And all those motives for you choosing to believe them
But they can't all be right and might all be misleading
You must find your own way home

Whatever works, works whatever
Whatever works, works whatever
Whatever works, works whatever
Whatever the punchline is to be

He lived preoccupied with what may follow after
And then death struck him down and granted him the answer
But it was in that quest that his life found a meaning
And now he's laid to rest he doesn't need a reason

Do some dangerous sports or start a coin collection
Take in jazz and hope they like your new direction
Go wherever feels like home

Whatever works, works whatever
Whatever works, works whatever

Until you're brought above the clouds
Or lowered in the ground
How are you gonna to know
Which was the way to roll?

Whatever works, works whatever
Whatever works, serves whatever
Whatever works, works whatever
Whatever the reckoning reveals
