Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

( HOW COME )
THE FAT GUY ON LOST
( NEVER SEEMS TO LOSE ANY WEIGHT? )
Copyright © 2006 - mickterry.com

1: Even back when I was in school,
I always had a boatload of questions.
Other kids would think me uncool
'cause I was always raising my hand.
While other kids were thinking of food,
my mind was seeking stuff for digestion,
like riddles without any answers.

2: Blackboard with the squeaking of chalk
was where I liked to work out my problems.
Didn't like their throwing spitballs
or whispering behind- my back.
It wasn't that I liked showing off,
but rather, it was more of a challenge,
like riddles without any answers. Like ...

CHORUS:
How come the fat guy on Lost
never seems to lose any weight?
How come on Lord of the Rings
they never seem to run out of arrows?
How come graffiti repairs
never seem to use the right paint?
What is the meaning of life?

3: Now that I'm a little more grown,
I'm faced with a new set of solutions
that need to be discovered at home
and on the job at work each day.
But still at times I get me alone
to ponder mysteries' dissolution,
like riddles without any answers. Like ...
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
I never claimed to know ev'rything.
I never insisted I was right.
But take away my option of questioning
and I'll put up one hell of a fight.
CHORUS:
