UNCANNY

The kitchen clock is running backward

I had my breakfast after lunch

The kettle whistles something awkward

A lullaby I never learned

There's seven chairs around the table

Yesterday I counted six

The wallpaper has changed its flowers

Nobody else has noticed it

It's un-un-uncanny, everything is almost right

Un-un-uncanny, I left on the hallway light

And the mirror, the mirror blinked first

I said hello, it said it worse

Un-un-uncanny, and I kind of like it here

My shadow's standing by the window

I'm sitting over by the door

The goldfish knows my middle name now

The stairs have one step more

I called my mother and she answered

Before I finished dialing in

She said "you sound just like my daughter"

I said "I'm practicing"

It's un-un-uncanny, everything is almost right

Un-un-uncanny, I left on the hallway light

And the mirror, the mirror blinked first

I said hello, it said it worse

Un-un-uncanny, and I kind of like it here

One, two, three, five

One, two, three, five

Where did the four go?

(I ate it)

One, two, three, five

It's un-un-uncanny, everything is almost right

Un-un-uncanny, I left on the hallway light

And the mirror, the mirror blinked first

I said hello, it said it worse

Un-un-uncanny, and I kind of like it here

I kind of like it here
