Jean-Michel Jarre, Yello - Why This, Why That and Why? Lyrics

When I was thrown into this planet
I knew what's going on
I was messing with my pacifier
All day long

Oh and I then I was twenty
And I didn't have a clue
I was messing with my days
Trying to be true
Trying to dig out

The man that I could be
I was shouting loud to find this little me
He was stumbling through his days
What else then could he try
Looking for an answer

Why this
Why that
And why

Oh and I then I was thirty
I thought I knew what it was all about
Cruising in the river
Like a silver trout
Swimming in the ocean
Respected by the sharks
Overnight the ocean turned out to be
Too dark

When I was diving deeper
There was no light no more
I couldn't find the way out
The ocean has no door
And all the things that happened to pretty desperate guy
Leading to the question

Why this
Why that
And why

I started to shout louder
What is this all about ?
Struggling up the river
Not even half-way proud
For all the things that happened to this pretty desperate guy
Who was looking for an answer

Why this
Why that
And why
