Unrelated Thing

By They Might Be Giants

Do you smile 'cause I'm funny? said the man

I wasn't joking and I meant the things I said.

Not at all, not at all. said the woman to the man

Unconnected and free, no relationship to anything.

How come you never look me in the eye?

Aren't you listening to me? said the man.

Not at all, not at all. said the woman to the man.

I'm still thinking of an unrelated thing.

Somewhere other than here, something else beside the man.

Please explain the expression on your face.

No you won't, no you won't. said the woman to the man.

I'll be thinking of an unrelated thing,
