Dawes
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
