You Don't Like Me

I know what you're thinking

I can read your mind

In your thoughts it's obvious

You don't like me

From across a crowded room you can feel me staring

And you know that I can see how it is

There's so much pleasure to be had from mystery and secret plans

But you don't like me, 'cause I can read your mind

I can see the future

Like it's in the past

You will never be my friend

You don't like me

I know what you're thinking

I can read your mind

In your thoughts it's obvious

You don't like me

You like cigarettes, swimming laps, potato chips

Battleship, cats, and Court TV

You like shadow puppets, Woody Harrelson

Reading in the bath, Nirvana, and baseball caps

You can hear me talking

Right up 'til I stop

When I do, I'm gone to you

But you are always there

I can hear the friendly words of advice that I'd be offered

If I had a friend to offer me advice

I'd be told to let it go and that I care too much

But this is not about me and you don't want to know

I can see the future

Like it's in the past

You will never be my friend

You don't like me

You like Bollywood, snow machines, daguerreotypes

Beauty contests, and cruise control

You like booster rockets, cutting with a fork, Terminator 2

The morning, and William Tell
