Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Mumbling failure in jail my extremities flail 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Reasons I can't really go into now Reasons we should probably not get into right now [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Flammable, undiagrammable sentiments Pass between animal beings Hard to explain but it's plain That I love you for psychological reasons (ahh) [Breakdown] [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Reasons I can't really go into now Reasons we should probably not get into right now
