Challenge 124: Highly Illogical Lyrics
We haven't had a lyric challenge in a while, so this week, our challenge will focus on a song by Star Trek's own, Leonard Nimoy! Highly Illogical is a song in which Nimoy sings as Spock. This song has always been a favorite of mine, so I thought we could icon it!
Lyric challenges are very open-ended! The only requirements (beyond being in the Trekverse, of course) is that icons MUST include at least 3 consecutive words from the lyrics.
For example, "study the behavior patterns" or "changes his habits" is fine, but "modern man" is not enough. If there are any questions or confusion, feel free to message the mod! We did this before, as challenge 102, so you can see some examples.
ANY Trekverse images may be used, and icons may be text-only. Have fun with it, the song is wonderful! You can hear the song on YouTube over here.

- You may enter up to 4 (four) icons for this challenge.

Highly Illogical by Leonard Nimoy
From far beyond the galaxies I've journeyed to this place
To study the behavior patterns of the human race
And I find them highly illogical
Girl meets boy they fall in love
She says he's everything she's dreamed of
But when they get married before he's aware
She changes his habits the way he combs his hair
She changes him to someone he's never been
And then complains he's not like other men
Now really I find this most illogical
Take the case of your automobiles
Greatest invention since man discovered wheels
Hydromatic overdrive four-on-the-floor
Pushbutton windows pushbutton doors
Double barreled carborators rush you anyplace
But you never can find a parking space
Highly illogical
Take the case of modern man
He works all his life gives it all he can
Saves all his money works overtime
Pinches every penny banks every dime
All he can think about is money but you know
That he can't take it with him where he's going to go
Now I find that fascinatingly illogical
Now is the time to journey home to tell of what I've learned
My people I believe have every right to be concerned
For in spite of computers and advanced psychology
Behavior patterns are still a mystery
I predict the future of this earthly human race
Is that having made a mess of Earth They'll move to outer space
Well there goes the neighborhood
Totally, completely, absolutely, irrevocably, highly illogical
