I'm not actually a friend, but I am

They Might Be Giants', "Dead"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I returned a bag of groceries
Accidentally taken off the shelf
Before the expiration date
I came back as a bag of groceries
Accidentally taken off the shelf
Before the date stamped on myself
Accidentally taken off the shelf
Before the expiration date
I came back as a bag of groceries
Accidentally taken off the shelf
Before the date stamped on myself
Why They're Nonsensical:
Why would you return groceries *before* the expiration date? I mean, aren't all of the groceries on the shelf supposed to be there before their expiration date? If not, then I think there'd be cause for concern. As for the last three lines (about coming back AS a bag of croceries, and stamping a date on yourself), I can't figure those out.

They Might Be Giants', "Dr. Evil's Theme"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
When your name is evil,
bad is good,
or so you think
But you're so very wrong,
it's evil
But being wrong is right,
so then you're good again
Which is the evilest thing of all
bad is good,
or so you think
But you're so very wrong,
it's evil
But being wrong is right,
so then you're good again
Which is the evilest thing of all
Why They're Nonsensical:
This one still hurts my brain just thinking about it

They Might Be Giants', "I Can't Hide From My Mind"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I've got my house surrounded
I know I'm in there
Come out with both my hands up
And don't make me come in and get me
I know I'm in there
Come out with both my hands up
And don't make me come in and get me
Why They're Nonsensical:
Uh...I'll try not to make you come in and get you

They Might Be Giants', "Shoehorn with Teeth"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
He wants a shoehorn,
the kind with teeth
Cause he knows there's no such thing
the kind with teeth
Cause he knows there's no such thing
Why They're Nonsensical:
Okay...the reason he wants something is because it doesn't exist? But if it DID exist, he wouldn't want it anymore? Dude...TMBG's nonsensical lyrics ROCK!

They Might Be Giants', "Where Your Eyes Don't Go"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Every jumbled pile of person
has a thinking part that wonders
what the part that isn't thinking
isn't thinking of
has a thinking part that wonders
what the part that isn't thinking
isn't thinking of
Why They're Nonsensical:
Ouch. I have a headache trying to warp my brain around that one. This group is definately famous for nonsensical lyrics, but that one just hurts.
