Lyrics Fight Test - The Flaming Lips

The test begins now

I thought I was smart
I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue in always being cool

So it came time to fight
I thought I'll just step aside
And that the time would prove you wrong
And that you would be the fool

I don't know where the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin
It's all a mystery

Oh, to fight is to defend
If it's not now, then tell me when would be the time
That you would stand up and be a man

For to lose, I could accept
But to surrender I just wept and regretted this moment
Oh that I, I was the fool

I don't know where the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life
It's all a mystery

'Cause I'm a man, not a boy
And there are things you can't avoid, you have to face them
When you're not prepared to face them

If I could, I would
But you're with him now, I'd do no good
I should have fought him, but instead I let him
I let him take you

I don't know where the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life
It's all a mystery

I don't know where the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
'Cause I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life
It's all a mystery
And I don't know where the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin
It's all a mystery (but instead I wanna take it)

Mystery

The test is over now
