For No Good Reason

A little girl sinks down in the deep end

And looks up towards the sky

Into a little blue world of legs and of feet

That look like they're in flight in a slow motion dance

While the water expands the Sun's refracted light

She just has to pretend she can hear the music

When she starts crying in her goggles

The scene becomes unclear

But she keeps peering into this underworld

Through the filter of her tears

Which let her keep hold of the moment

As if it was a souvenir

She just has to pretend she knows how to use it

Or maybe it's some cold hard truth that makes her cry

Maybe it's an ancient past life memory recalled

Maybe it's a chemical that got into her eye

Or maybe it's for no good reason at all

Maybe it's for no good reason at all

His wife asked "How were things at work today?"

As Bill walked through the door

He put his coat on the chair and his keys on the table

And his eyes down on the floor

And he tightened his jaws and he thought how the cause

And effects weren't clear anymore

Figuring out how to say what's wrong

He said "I know that I'll be leaving you

That's all I really know

But I wish I could tell

What exactly compels

Me to turn my steps and go

Because there's so much love that you've given me

And so much love that I owe

It's with myself that I can't seem to get along"

Or maybe he just felt the hungry hand of fate

Maybe he won't rest until he's seen it fall

Maybe it's the mood that he's in just for the day

Or maybe it's for no good reason at all

Maybe it's for no good reason at all

An actor was found dead today in his Culver City home

And with no evidence of foul play

It seemed he'd acted on his own

The position of his body

Looked like he was reaching for the phone

Makes you wonder who he was gonna call

Maybe all his demons were settling their debts

Or maybe all the pressure finally drove him to the wall

Maybe there were secrets that he needed to protect

Or maybe it's for no good reason at all

Maybe it's for no good reason, no good reason, no good reason at all
