Ever break up with somebody because they're an annoying drag and then later they show up and seem to have it really together? Or quit a band and go hear them and they sound a lot better? Come on, be honest now.

lyrics

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

What are you doing here?
I thought that you had gone
What are you doing here?
And what have you got on?
What are you doing here?
It's messing with my mind
You make it difficult
Not to be unkind

You're talking in circles
I don't understand
And what is this object
You've placed in my hand?

So you can levitate
Since when could you do that?
I wish you'd stop it now
You're frightening the cat
You're shooting laser beams
And teleporting too
You can do anything
How very nice for you

You're talking in circles
I don't understand
And what is this object
You've placed in my hand?

When you were my lover I knew what to expect
You ate up all my BabyBels and never washed your neck
Now your helicopter is hovering in my drive
I wasn't even sure that you were still alive

What are you doing here?
It's messing with my head
I liked you better when
You were a memory instead

You're talking in circles
I don't understand
And what is this trust that
You've placed in my hand?
You're laughing in rhomboids
Your outline's unclear
I thought thhat we had
An arrangement my dear
