The Eternal Question

Paganini in a bottle
Variation on a theme
Clockmaker tinkering the model
What does eternity mean?
Tick, tock, tick time’s almost gone
Tick, tock, tick the answer’s wrong
The eternal question, music to my ears
The eternal question, asked and answered here
Sold his soul to the devil
So he could get back up and play
All alone with the question to wrestle
The saved and damned are the same
Tick, tock, tick you’re near the end
Tick, tock, tick try again
The eternal question, music to my ears
The eternal question, asked and answered here
You, in the back, with your hand up
Ask your question…
And they say that love is the answer
The eternal question, music to my ears
The eternal question, asked and answered here
