Little Wings - So What? lyrics

So what, so what so this, that, the other
So what was once so is now another
Before the land came after an ice-age
Favorite songs grew from smokey
Young rock caves

So what, so what so now so what's found you
So what you say, but so what's around you
It's not that much so what you might say
But soon as you do, "so what's" in your way

And so what a chapter, and so what a sentence
So what of time, so what of distance?
Campershell calling, young leaves are falling
So what do coastlines wait on us stalling?
So what, so what, so what we are saying
So what of leaving, so what of staying?
Evening is dawning, morning is daying
So what is back so what is replaying?
Teeth are all growing in
Skulls of the afternoon
The skeletons in movie-rental shops know
What they're going to do
The ligament was torn in football
Practice back in high school
The scar upon the shoulder is
So shiny in the swimmingpool
This one, that one, yeah
So what's the difference?
So what of temperatures and sick
Notes and permission slips?
So what does it all look like from
Out there where it's always night?
So what of the outer-space
Perfected from a satellite?
So what of the freeway
The blinker in the traffic jam?
The other girl says "so what" when her
Best friend comes home with a tan
So what is the sound inside the
Mouth that has been mouthing it?
I record a song and someone says "so what
It sounds like shit"
So what is the distance in
The feeling in the young
Deer legs that wake us in the wooded field
So we rise and cook some eggs
The surface of her skin is being
Brushed by brush and weeds alike
The whole sky rests against you, it flies
Past you when you ride a bike, so what
So what so what
So what

So what is the name
What is the sound for what is going on?
What is so what's game
Why does so what so what now far and yon?
I must be to blame but I am
Just a pen that's rolling on
So what I am now is where the
Point hit's paper then I'm gone
So what was the song that
I wrote 3rd of June, 2003
So what in the morning like a
Playful kitten came to me
Bright young eyes and pauses that
Were different and the same to me
Multi level clauses, sentence
Drapes and tones, untame to be
So what's war horses
Let's bring their bit's and brand new bridles
Gallop through our meadows that we'll
Write in notebook titles
It is all for our singing
It is not for our survival
Write and write and write and you
Will write your own new bible
So what, so what is still going like a vapor
Lik the "look at what the light
Do" theme and other crimey capers
It will come again (so what)
In another pen (so what)
What they're living in, these singings
30, 000 gods all winging
And the packages of temples that
They sell at drugstores glow
I could get into a new one
A fine point with good flow
I could let go of the leashes
And let my dogs all go
And the leaves with all their creases
Looking down at us below
So what is this perspective?
It's a pinprick on forever
It's a sentence that is fading
Such as tide or wind or weather
It was never pulled apart and
It was never put together
It was only as it was
It wasn't dumb, it wasn't clever

So what to make when everything
Will fall apart and vanish?
So what to take stock in?
What ever feels like an advantage
So what to lose or give?
So what to make of Adam's Rib?
So what to see? Life lasts forever
In the ways it did

And in the meantime so what
Is graces put upon you
In the tiny breathes of micy
Family joys on you
Crumbs from heaven's table to the
Kitchen floor are fallling
40 billion telephones from different
Walls all calling

Trail of ants in warpaths march
And then into the city
So what has been done, what is ugly
What is pretty?
So what is the bruised fruit in
The dark and smelly basement?
So what is the moment that
It calls for some replacement? So what
So what so what
So what (so whaaaaaaaaa)
(so whaaaaaaaaa)
