Chaos Theory

i cried out "mother"
she came, i asked her
is there no grand conductor
main man, or master
tell me, were we at the mercy
of the wind and thunder
she nodded sadly
"sorry, son, it's just the numbers"

some lil' fly flaps her wing
some shy guy starts to sing
suddenly it chu chu chee chu
changes everything

oh, i was getting tickled
now i'm getting teary
clearly because chaos is 
more than a theory
a theory

my sliding doors
your split second decisions
move with such great force
good lord, good life, good riddance
two bluebirds diverged in yellow words
the sky, it shook em
and i, i chose to try and
catch em both and cook em

some lil' ghost licks his lips
some hot host shakes her hips
before you can do your shtick
the whole fabric of spacetime rips

not saying it's evil, i just think it's eery
all the ways das chaos is
more than a theory
a theory

birds of prey cannot grasp this
trains of thought cannot track this
it's all chaos in theory
it's all chaos in practice
practice

some old fox taps her feet
some young buck drops the beat
suddenly there's hot lava
flowing all up orchard street

hi mom and dad
hello chat ja pa ta, hey seawee
what causes chaos to be
more than a theory
