"What Is The Reason For It?" lyrics

David Byrne & Ghost Train Orchestra Lyrics

"What Is The Reason For It?"
(feat. Hayley Williams)

Love is cold, love is hot
Love can make you feel a lot like someone else
Love is new, love is old
Love explains a story told to fool yourself

What is the reason for it? Why is it there?
Is it my body or my brain?
Why do we talk about it? What would that do?
24 hours every day

Love is here, love is gone
Love will prove that anyone can change their mind
Love is time, love is space
Love will help you find a place to come inside

What is the reason for it? Why is it there?
Is it my body or my brain?
Nobody understands it, they all believe
That it will all make sense someday

Love is war, love is peace
Love is such a tasty treat, but when it's done
Love is odd, love is queer
Love will take you out of here to find someone

What is the reason for it? Why is it there?
Is it my body or my brain?
Nobody understands it, they all believe
That it will all make sense someday

Does it do something useful? What is it for?
Is everyone else the same as me?
What do we know about it? We cannot say
What does it do when we're asleep?

What is the reason for it?
What is the reason for it?
What is the reason for it?
