about

Somewhere in the vast universe, David Bowie is eating sandwiches with the Little Prince. They are sitting back and sharing theories on what comes next. As they sit and ponder existence, a comet is is about to fly by them. The comet has passed through time and space to share its message. The Comet has a speaker on it and How Was I to Know is playing. This song is about acceptance and trying to understand things that aren’t always clear. It is about uncertainty and embracing change so you can push through those moments. David Bowie heard the song and knew all of this to be true. The Little Prince just asked if he was going to eat the rest of his sandwich and pickle.

lyrics

Lies, I'm abstaining from saying anything bad
And I can't do it alone, I can't make it on a dime
Why the attention, why the affection
How was I to know that I...

Cries, I'm refraining from saying anything cross
And I can't do it alone, the information is lost
Why the attention, why even mention
How was I to know that I...

Keep revelating ever changing with the waves of evermore
I know the time will come when everyone who thinks they know is lost

Why the attention, why the rejection, why the affection, why the election
How was I to know that I...

Keep revelating ever changing with the waves of evermore
I know the time will come when everything we say and do is lost
