Lyrics
Now, I want to put it two ways I’m not saying That it’s a bad thing, something to be condemned, to take your own individual life seriously, in dead earnest, and to have all the problems that go with that Do understand that being that way, that being a real mixed-up human being is a manifestation of nature That is something just like the patterns on the waves out here Patterns on the waves Patterns on the waves Patterns on the waves Patterns on the waves Or like a seashell? You know, we pick up shells I always keep one around, as sort of an example for many things And say, “My goodness, isn’t that gorgeous!” There’s not an aesthetic fault in it anywhere. It’s absolutely perfect Now, I wonder I wonder if these fish look at each other’s shells and say, “Don’t you think she’s kind of fat? Oh my, those markings aren’t really very well spaced.” Because that’s what we do Patterns on the waves Patterns on the waves That’s what we do Patterns on the waves Patterns on the waves That’s what we do
