tom smith (filk) - the coin-flip universe lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
heads i win, tails you lose
let’s flip a coin and we’ll let fate choose
this one here, that one there
splitting an atom, splitting a hair

[verse 2]
if i don’t cross the street
i don’t get mud on my shoes and feet
if i take a taxi, thus
i don’t get hit by a crosstown bus

[chorus]
we are our acts and memories
what we think and do
so am i being revisionist
when i try something new?

[verse 3]
if we kiss, will i get slapped?
can there be bliss if my lips are chapped?
if you’re male, do i like boys?
i change my life with evеry choice

[verse 4]
if i choose while alonе
am i the same as if it were known?
if i don’t choose again
am i who i was way back when?
[chorus]
there are two possibilities
to everything we do
we’re in one dimension that’s linear
or creating one that’s new

[bridge]
it’s an expanding universe
that had better be true
each choice multiplies the potential
universes by two (or three or….)

[verse 5]
heads i don’t, tails i do
worlds stretching out far as i can view
i just might go insane
keeping them right inside my brain

[verse 6]
all of my might+have+beens
altruism and mortal sins
i can’t keep up this load
live for today or my head’ll explode

[chorus]
i can’t change what has happened
i can’t predict what will
and so it seems my best choice
is staying perfectly still
[outro]
all around…
life goes on…
there comes a choice, now it’s here and gone…
once again…
i don’t move…
wondering what i’m trying to prove…
have i now…
ceased to be?…
if i do nothing, i’m not me…
so the world…
i’ll rejoin…
wait, maybe not ++ let me flip a coin
