lyrics

Metaphor is just a word for a comparison between unlike things
But, when you think about it, them’s just words too.
Descartes walks into a bar. Bartender says "Hey, can I get you a shot?" Descartes says," I think not." and then he disappears.
I think there for I am, at least I think I do.
If you don’t understand, you might need someone else to explain it to you.
When the photon checked in to his hotel they asked him "Can we get your bags?"
He replied, "No thank you, I'm traveling light."
Deer with no eyes? No eye deer.
No legs and no eyes? Still, no eye deer.
A no eyed fish? Fsh.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? What if I told you this was intelligent conversation?
Would you get the point?
Would you get the joke?
Would it even matter?
Well, I’m not thinking so.
I’ll never trust an atom because they make up everything
And never joke with a klepto because they take everything literally. How many words does it take to turn a phrase one might ask?
Eleven, one to turn the wheel and one to hit the gas.
Knock, knock. Who’s there? To. To who?
Actually, it’s to whom when following a preposition
Or used in the object position.
Why’d that chicken cross the Mobius strip?
To get to the same side?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? What if I told you this was a metaphor for my opinions?
Would you get the point?
Would you get the joke?
Does it really matter?
Well, I’m not thinking so.
I’ve got ideas swirling round my head
But the words to relate seem to be under lock and key
And when I can’t find the key, I break into song
And if you can’t relate, well man you’re not the only one.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? What if I told you this was the best thing I’ve ever written?
Would you get the point?
Would you get the joke?
Does it really matter?
Well, I’m not thinking so.
