They Might Be Giants

They Might Be Giants (sometimes abbreviated as TMBG) is an American alternative band formed in 1982 by John Flansburgh and John Linnell. During TMBG's early years Flansburgh and Linnell were frequently accompanied by a drum machine. In the early 1990s, TMBG became a full band. Currently, the members of TMBG are Flansburgh, Linnell, Marty Beller, Dan Miller, and Danny Weinkauf. They are best known for an unconventional and experimental style of alternative music.

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 Mr. Ian's 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 till I stop 
When I do, I'm gone to you 
But you were 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 to 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
