That Is Why Lyrics
Today I sat and smoked myself to cancer
Thinking about the dancer at the bar
Well how was I to know
That a crush could just implode
‘Til it became a grudge eclipsing every star
And yes I know my addictions run the gamut
The drugs, the smokes, the booze, the 24
But you can't make the turkey colder
Or skew me less bipolar
Let me list the things about you I abhor
Horrible, you're
So easy, Talk sleazy
You led me off the plank and left me queasy
And that is why
You can't rock my world
You swore that you were taken when I met you
But yes, you did undress me from afar
A Gentile concubine
You skip amongst the mines
Just a product of the endless, empty grind
You lack the curves that prove a proper lady
A slender slave with sluttish, sleepy eyes
Though once I was emoting
And Bono-lyric quoting
I have found another be my guest and die
With starry eyes, she's
Warm-glancing, entrancing
And now I'm through with all your sick, sad ranting
And that is why
You can't rock my world
I've lost you
And now I glide through the silky sky
It's so blue
And you're just old news
That is why
So screwed
Cadaver gone blue, this has died
And grown gangrene
And now I see right through your lies
With...
Ripe wonder, I plunder
Her village now that I know I'll become her
And that is why
you can't rock my, that is why
that is why
You'll never ever ever ever ever ever in a god damn millennium
be my girl
Thinking about the dancer at the bar
Well how was I to know
That a crush could just implode
‘Til it became a grudge eclipsing every star
The drugs, the smokes, the booze, the 24
But you can't make the turkey colder
Or skew me less bipolar
Let me list the things about you I abhor
So easy, Talk sleazy
You led me off the plank and left me queasy
And that is why
You can't rock my world
But yes, you did undress me from afar
A Gentile concubine
You skip amongst the mines
Just a product of the endless, empty grind
A slender slave with sluttish, sleepy eyes
Though once I was emoting
And Bono-lyric quoting
I have found another be my guest and die
Warm-glancing, entrancing
And now I'm through with all your sick, sad ranting
And that is why
You can't rock my world
And now I glide through the silky sky
It's so blue
And you're just old news
That is why
So screwed
Cadaver gone blue, this has died
And grown gangrene
And now I see right through your lies
Ripe wonder, I plunder
Her village now that I know I'll become her
And that is why
you can't rock my, that is why
that is why
You'll never ever ever ever ever ever in a god damn millennium
be my girl

So he got drunk, banged a slut, and so now i can't fucking be his girl...WTDF!?!?!
he is referring to 24 the television show, theres a lot off with these lyrics
love this song!
i think that it's about liking someone and wanting to get them in bed, but then actually developing true feelings for them.
Wow, these are some of the greatest lyrics I've ever read. I am anticipating the new album very fiercely.

I guess no one has heard the alternate version of this song where the lyrics are a COMPLETE 180 of this one?
Today I sat and smoked myself to cancer Thinking about the dancer at the bar Well how was I to know that this crush would grow and grow Till it became a love eclipsing every star And yes I know my addictions run the gamut The smokes the booze the drugs the 24 But you have made the turkey colder as if I’m not bipolar Let me list those things about you which I adore
Beautiful you’re freckled slightly You’re laugh’s mighty Expressive flexible not wound up tightly and that is why you should rock my world
I knew that you were taken when I met you For years I’d sit and undress you from afar But now your’e free to be An open sore like me I would like to know just where you hide those scars
Cause you curve right where you should when you’re a lady But you’re slender sleek and somewhat sleepy head Atypically emoting I’m bono-lyric quoting Like I sell my soul to kneel between your thighs
Starry eyes your warm glancing entrancing and you’re amused by my sick sad ranting And that is why you should rock my world
I want you, you’re where I want to lay my head Won’t you, you’re where I want to lay my head
With ripe wonder, I plunder (?) Just to see if I become her And that is why you should rock my...that is why you should rock my That is why you should be my girl
