lyrics
I really don't know much about the sun
but I do know it shines down on everyone
It'll tax us or sustain us 'till the human race is run
but I really don't know much about the sun
Though I really don't know much about the rain
it magnifies your pleasures and your pain
You start to run for cover but it isn't worth the strain
I really don't know much about the rain
I really don't know much about your fear
It draws your eye and whispers in your ear
It makes every obstruction greater than it first appears
but I really don't know much about your fear
I really don't know much about despair
but when you haven't got the energy to care
it makes the slightest burden seem impossible to bear
but I really don't know much about despair
I really don't know much about the stars
those brilliant little pin-holes in the dark
but whenever one falls you can bet it leaves a mark
I really don't know much about the stars
and I really don't know much about the dawn
once the terrors of the night have shuffled on
I reflect upon the sunlight until all the ghosts are gone
but I really don't know much about the dawn
but I do know it shines down on everyone
It'll tax us or sustain us 'till the human race is run
but I really don't know much about the sun
Though I really don't know much about the rain
it magnifies your pleasures and your pain
You start to run for cover but it isn't worth the strain
I really don't know much about the rain
I really don't know much about your fear
It draws your eye and whispers in your ear
It makes every obstruction greater than it first appears
but I really don't know much about your fear
I really don't know much about despair
but when you haven't got the energy to care
it makes the slightest burden seem impossible to bear
but I really don't know much about despair
I really don't know much about the stars
those brilliant little pin-holes in the dark
but whenever one falls you can bet it leaves a mark
I really don't know much about the stars
and I really don't know much about the dawn
once the terrors of the night have shuffled on
I reflect upon the sunlight until all the ghosts are gone
but I really don't know much about the dawn

Through a distinctive fusion of folk, rock, theatre and electronica, Mark Lenover critically examines pop culture’s ubiquitous influence, its moral philosophy and the potentially devastating effects of drug abuse and mental illness.
