lyrics

A couple thousand grains
Of couscous sifted through my hands today
If we were to trade
These grains of couscous for thoughts of you in my brain

They'd match right up
Thought for thought
Don't you see

I prefer
To converse
In similes

Maybe then
I'll feel more
like a mystery

Maybe then
I'll feel more
like a mystery

Nothing as it seems
Nothing as it seems
I'm falling at the seams
And you don't even know it!

The house across the street
is dilapidated, the fence is gated, a pile of debris
Who's my neighbor? Oh nobody knows!
And me not knowing keeps me on my toes
Right on my toes

Perhaps he's a Russian spy
On the run from the police

(I prefer
to diverge
From reality)

Maybe then
I"ll feel more like
A mystery

Maybe then
I'll feel more like a mystery

Nothing as it seems
Nothing as it seems
I'm falling at the seams
And you don't even know it!

Nothing as it seems
Nothing as it seems
I'm falling at the seams
And you don't even know it!

They'd match right up
Thought for thought
Don't you see

I prefer
To converse
In similes

Maybe then
I'll feel more
like a mystery

Maybe then
I'll feel more
like a mystery

Nothing as it seems
Nothing as it seems
I'm falling at the seams
And you don't even know it!

Nothing as it seems
Nothing as it seems
I'm falling at the seams
And you don't even know!
