They Might Be Giants
Reprehensible
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
Indestructible
Indefensible
Reprehensible
Ten thousand 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
Ten thousand years of unerasable acts
And permanent facts
And only I know
Who's responsible
Indefensible
Reprehensible
Me
