No Rhyme or Reason

from Where You Belong by C. James Conrad

/

lyrics

I was promised on a time
To have a reason for my rhyme
But from that time to this season
I received nor rhyme nor reason

No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme
No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme
No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme
No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme

After buying running shoes on Amazon
I met my bride-to-be in a marathon
She dressed like a lamb but she ran like a wolf
She said she was a long shot, and I said I like golf
I left the monastery a novice monk
We headed to Las Vegas to get married that month

No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme
No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme
No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme
No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme

In a chapel with neon lights July the ninth
It had an open bar; we had one too many pints
Elvis was the minister; his cape was purple
He started the wedding by quoting Winston Church’ll
He said, What is love? Baby, don’t hurt me
That Elon Musk twitter made me lose my herbal tea

No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme
No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme
No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme
No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme

Knowing fake news can be quite dangerous
What you call a viking is merely a Dane to us
For the music I chose a 70’s themed opus
But the shrimp and calamari damn nearly choked us
Wedding crashers came wearing 50 shades of orange
It was Bjorn and Boy George but they called themselves Bjorange

No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme
No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme
No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme
No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme

The reception hall was raided; we were discombobulated
The detective swore the crime scene looked disco-mob related
My sweet Alma Maughter had a checkered past
But I preferred chess, so the marriage couldn’t last
My running bride ran with the candlesticks of silver
So let’s play a game of chess and read the comic Dilbert

No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme
No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme
No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme
No rhyme or reason; no reason, or rhyme
