The Number 42

[Verse] Woke up in a haze found myself lookin' for clues Rainy streets dim lights stumbled through the blues Voices in the wind said there's somethin' I've missed So I stared at the sky wishin' for a twist [Verse 2] From the bottom of my tea cup to the edge of the Milky Way Answers danced and laughed but never seemed to stay Old man's riddle young heart's quest Searchin' for the meaning in the shadows of our best [Chorus] They say it's simple it's just a number Forty-two it’s the gate our eternal slumber Digits of wisdom laugh at our plight In the chaos of existence truth ignites [Bridge] Walkin' through this maze with beats and bars Life's a crazy puzzle framed by cosmic scars Guitars weep reality raps In the struggle for meaning we close the gaps [Verse 3] In the code of the cosmos or the hearts of men Findin' solace in the answers or the prick of a pen Questions swirl like autumn leaves Hopin' one day our souls find reprieve [Chorus] They say it's simple it's just a number Forty-two it’s the gate our eternal slumber Digits of wisdom laugh at our plight In the chaos of existence truth ignites
