WDYDWYD Why Do You Do What You Do?

Because the universe is expanding.
Because the Martians are landing.
Because the sound is maddening.
Because this song is saddening.
Because the world is ending.

Because it's a far, far better rest.
Because I helped create this dreadful mess.
Because I'm completely obsessed.
Because I'll never digress.
Because the west is the best.

Because I said so.
Because you told me so.
Because they told me no.
Because I just think so.
Because I love you so.

Because the Man in Black Fled.
Because the Gunslinger bled.
Because all my friends are dead.
Because I can't find my bed.
Because I've lost my head.
