They Might Be Giants - Reprehensible lyrics

Each night I lie awake

Completely alone

A voice is speaking, and I tremble

For it's not my own

My own

I can't ignore it

Although I try

The intrusive whisper fascinates me

Here's why

Here's why

The shadows gather 'round as the voice recites

The secret history of my immortal soul

Indestructable

Indefensible

Reprehensible

10,000 years of unerasable acts

And permanent facts

The record of my

Unspeakable crimes

In previous lives

In previous times

Indelibly stains

The pages of history

Indestructible

Indefensible

Reprehensible

Night after night the voice recites my misdeeds

And puts me to sleep

And tells me I won't

Remember a thing

When morning comes at last

I rub my eyes

Forgetting everything and thinking

Only of my plans

My plans

The world is spinning 'round and I'm on the top

And nothing in the world can ever make me stop

Indestructible

Indefensible

Reprehensible

10,000 years of unerasable acts

And permanent facts

And only I know

Who's responsible

Indefensible

Reprehensible

Me
