I Love You for Psychological Reasons
Lately, I've taken to vacantly making repetitive movements
Mistakenly seen as improvements
Nearing perfection but wisely electing
To shun my reflection, preferring instead shoe inspection
Cheese and chalk do not talk
But their eyes synchronize with a secret rhythm
Which is a way one could say that I love you for psychological reasons
Mumbling failure in jail my extremities fail
And I wail though my arms and my legs to the chair are nailed
Under the table, unwilling, unable, the torture's medieval
The dream is a fable with feeble wings
Why does the mouse share the house with the louse?
They won't say, but they feel their feelings
Doesn't subtract from the fact that I love you for psychological reasons
Reasons I can't really go into now
Reasons we should probably not get into right now
I'm ashamed to admit I'm afraid of assuming the blame
For my lame abnegation of braveness and fame
Brain in a jar in a car in reverse, I'm rehearsing the way
I'll replay how to say how to be where you are
Flammable undiagrammable sentiments pass between animal beings
Hard to explain, but it's plain that I love you for psychological reasons
Why does the mouse share the house with the louse?
They won't say, but they feel their feelings
Doesn't subtract from the fact that I love you for psychological reasons
Reasons I can't really go into now
Reasons we should probably not get into right now
Mistakenly seen as improvements
Nearing perfection but wisely electing
To shun my reflection, preferring instead shoe inspection
Cheese and chalk do not talk
But their eyes synchronize with a secret rhythm
Which is a way one could say that I love you for psychological reasons
Mumbling failure in jail my extremities fail
And I wail though my arms and my legs to the chair are nailed
Under the table, unwilling, unable, the torture's medieval
The dream is a fable with feeble wings
Why does the mouse share the house with the louse?
They won't say, but they feel their feelings
Doesn't subtract from the fact that I love you for psychological reasons
Reasons I can't really go into now
Reasons we should probably not get into right now
I'm ashamed to admit I'm afraid of assuming the blame
For my lame abnegation of braveness and fame
Brain in a jar in a car in reverse, I'm rehearsing the way
I'll replay how to say how to be where you are
Flammable undiagrammable sentiments pass between animal beings
Hard to explain, but it's plain that I love you for psychological reasons
Why does the mouse share the house with the louse?
They won't say, but they feel their feelings
Doesn't subtract from the fact that I love you for psychological reasons
Reasons I can't really go into now
Reasons we should probably not get into right now
