Pure Conjecture

 

 

All mind’s closing…
All opinion’s forming…
By the third bar, you’ve made up your mind
did we pass or fail this time?

It isn’t the way that we play

Then why, won’t you tell me, why?

This is pure conjecture, but if…

If the moon’s not made out of cheese

This is pure conjecture, but if…
