Lyrics
There is a tiny Detective Scully in my head "Trust no one; don't even trust yourself," she says "I know you're desperate to believe There's no betrayal up her sleeve But love's not out there, so you're never going to find it." There is a tiny Mr. Spock inside my head "Feel nothing; Love isn't logical," he says "How prosperously you could live If learn to take and never give Love is so human; you'd be better off without it." There's a devil on my shoulder Who shovels sand onto my fire And when I tell you how I feel The bastard tells me I'm a liar But when I listen a little deeper Deeper Somebody tells me you're a keeper There is a tiny Gaius Baltar in my head "Don't be so maudlin; be Machiavellian!" he says "Unless you're truly paranoid, You're guaranteed to be destroyed So we all say, and we can't all be mistaken." All these devils on my shoulder Whispering into my ear And every time you say you love me They're the loudest thing I hear But if I listen even deeper / Deeper Somebody tells me you're a keeper
