lyrics

There is no future in this relationship, where’s it going?
One and one is three, you’re making me doubt my own mind
There are ghosts in the bedroom
Mona Lisa was a man
And this vision you’ve got of me, it’s not what it ought to be

Being of unsound mind I promise this, “I promise nothing”
One and one is five, and I won’t try a different point of view
Bad men at my front door
I brought down the Government
Put your faith in technology, religious apology

It is not right
It is not wrong
It is not obvious but it’s been there all along

I state in the presence of these witnesses, I am unable
One and one is eight, it’s getting late, is it too late
There’s poison in the water
Joseph Raymond is alive
Just because you’re paranoid, you are not destroyed

It is not right
It is not wrong
It is not obvious but it’s been there all along
