Look at the stars Dreams of a place that my father has seen

Where the farmers and the gardeners have no king

What he saw was unmistakable

And it happened at a time of pure content

He gave up his job at the M O D

24 years old he flowered

My old man was a gardener asking

Why the f**k have we got thumbs

I know I know why

I know I know why

I know I know why

Now I know I know why

He had a great green appetite asked

When does gold turn silver

Then a message came through the green conduit

What he saw was a leprechaun

It let him know that we're not far

From a different world

And this story from my dad

Was one great tale that reeked of hope

I know I know why

I know I know why

I know I know why

Now I know I know why

I know I know
