It's a pointless, small place on a map in outer space.
Every second, everyday you're gone,
I've got a job that I can't keep working on,
Yeah.
I think you are so annoying,
That's why you get so disappointing.
I swear you are so important,
Nothing you do is pointless,
Yeah.
There is no modern mystery,
No mystic chords of memory.
There is no modern mystery,
We're making up our history.
Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah.
Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah.
And I'm so glad I don't hear you say no.
I'm so glad I dont hear you say no.
You could really put me in my place,
On a map in outerspace.
You've got a real cool constitution, and it's a come on,
But it's not an illusion,
Yeah.
There is no modern mystery,
No mystic chords of memory.
There is no modern mystery,
We're making up our history.
There is no modern mystery, (Oooh)
No mystic chords of memory. (Oooh)
There is no modern mystery, (Oooh)
We're making up our history. (Oooh)
There is no modern mystery,
No in-between ancestory.
I didn't mean to hurt yah.
Thought I was done,
But I heard yah.
There is no modern mystery, (Oooh)
No mystic chords of memory. (Oooh)
There is no modern mystery, (Oooh)
We're making up our history. (Oooh)
Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah.
Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah.
And we may fight with each others shadows,
But I'm so glad I don't hear you say no.
Yeah,
I'm so glad I don't here you say no.
I'm so glad I don't hear you say no.
Every second, everyday you're gone,
I've got a job that I can't keep working on,
Yeah.
I think you are so annoying,
That's why you get so disappointing.
I swear you are so important,
Nothing you do is pointless,
Yeah.
There is no modern mystery,
No mystic chords of memory.
There is no modern mystery,
We're making up our history.
Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah.
Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah.
And I'm so glad I don't hear you say no.
I'm so glad I dont hear you say no.
You could really put me in my place,
On a map in outerspace.
You've got a real cool constitution, and it's a come on,
But it's not an illusion,

There is no modern mystery,
No mystic chords of memory.
There is no modern mystery,
We're making up our history.
There is no modern mystery, (Oooh)

There is no modern mystery, (Oooh)

There is no modern mystery,
No in-between ancestory.
I didn't mean to hurt yah.

There is no modern mystery, (Oooh)
No mystic chords of memory. (Oooh)
There is no modern mystery, (Oooh)

Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah.
Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah.
And we may fight with each others shadows,
But I'm so glad I don't hear you say no.
Yeah,
I'm so glad I don't here you say no.
I'm so glad I don't hear you say no.

Haha, I wish I had better input than that, but that's all I have.
Is there another song that has an opening really really similar to this one (and I know it's not Pink Bullets that I'm thinking of, although I agree they are similar). The first time I heard this song I could have sworn I'd heard that part before, although I didn't recognize the rest of the song.
"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic cords of memory will swell when again touched as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature.”
>on that allusion to Lincoln's speech, they might be singing about human nature (the better angels of our nature) and how modern society has disregarded it thinking we're all blank slates moulded by our societies ('there is no modern mystery (to human existence); we're making up our own history (we can change history as we like it to shape huamnity) ...and how we're all the worse off because we don't accept the individuality arising from an acceptance of our innate nature ('im so glad you say no' (a sort of defeated acceptance of the chorus line) but if you did say no you'd give meaning to his individual existance 'you could put me in my place on a map in outerspace'
yeah....=) my two cents, i really started to like this song after i interpreted it this way
I think you are so anointed,
That's why you get so disappointed.
He sings those T's as D's which is why it sounds as you posted...
