Basket Case

Do you have the time to listen to me whine
About NOTHING and everything all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it

Sometimes I give myself the CREEPS
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm CRACKING UP
Am I just PARANOID?
Am I just STONED

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
SHE says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
I went to a whore
HE said my life's a bore
So quit my whining cause it's bringing HER down

Sometimes I give myself the CREEPS
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm CRACKING UP
Am I just PARANOID?

Grasping to CONTROL
So I BETTER hold on

Sometimes I give myself the CREEPS
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm CRACKING UP
Am I just PARANOID?
Am I just STONED



When I Come Around


I heard you crying loud
All the way across town
You've been searching for that someone and it's me out on the prowl,
as you sit around feeling sorry for yourself.
Well don't get lonely now,
And dry your whining eyes.
I'm just roamin' for the moment
sleazin' my backyard so don't get-
so uptight you've been thinkin' about ditchin' me...

No time to search the world around
Cuz you know where I'll be found..
When I come around

I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and your user so I don't need no accuser,
to try and slag me down because I know your right.
So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise...
You may find out that your self doubt means nuthin' was ever there.
You can't go forcing something if it's just not right.....

No time to search the world around,
Cuz' you know where I'll be found..
When I come around
No time to search the world around,

Cuz' you know where I'll be found..
How now brown cow...
When I come around..
When I come around..
When I come around..




HITCHIN A RIDE


Hey Mister where ya headed?
Are you in a hurry?
I need a lift to happy hour
Say oh no
Do you brake for distilled spirits
I need a break as well
The well that inebriates the guilt
One, two, one, two, three, four
Cold turkey's getting stale
Tonight I'm eating crow
Fermented salmonella
Poison oak, no
There's a drought at the fountain of youth
And now I'm dehydrating
My tounge is swelling up
I say one, two, one, two, three, four
Trouble times
You know I cannot lie
I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin a ride
There's a drought at the fountain of youth
And now I'm dehydrating
My tounge is swelling up
I say
Shy
Touble times
You know I cannot lie
I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin a ride
Don't know where I'm goin
Hitchin a ride




Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)


Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.

It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredicatable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.

Hang it on a shelf
of good health and good time.

Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.

For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredicatable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
