Lyrics - The Certainty Of Chance by Divine Comedy

A butterfly flies through the forest rain
And turns the wind into a hurricane
I know that it will happen'
Cause
I believe in the certainty of chance
A schoolboy yawns, sits back and hits return
While round the world computers crash and burn
I know that it will happen'
Cause
I believe in the certainty of chance
And
I believe
I can see it all so clearly now
You must go and
I must set you free'
Cause only that will bring you back to me
I know that it will happen
Because
I believe in the certainty of chance
Sometimes at night the darkness and silence weighs on me.
Peace =frightens me.
Perhaps
I fear it most of all.
I feel it's only a facade, =hiding the face of hell.
I think of what's in store for my children =tomorrow; "
The world will be wonderful", they say; but from whose =viewpoint?
We need to live in a state of suspended animation, like a =work of art; in a state of enchantment... detached.
Detached.
