I’m going crazy I’ve got pockets full of cash Saline and alcohol All dried in my mustache I’m going crazy, Lord There’s a bullet In my brain But who’s to blame? I’m going crazy, Lord There’s a bullet In my brain But what’s my name? Have I got one? I’m going broke But I’ve got family for days Pain pills and alcohol And underhanded ways What are you so crazy for? There’s a bullet In your brains But who’s to blame? They’re all so crazy, Lord There’s a bullet In their brains I share their name But I’m not one I’m growing up today I’m turning in my badge If I need anything I’ll write it on my hat

If you could see me Then you would Overstate the problems I’m having Today But quit the shouting or you would Exaggerate the volume I’m trying To stay Calm If you could find me Then I would Compensate your trouble For hiding Away But quit the fighting or you would Go beneath the blankets For hiding Away Mockingbird sing

Your calculator eyes They started forming floods for fun Until your mother died Son, we’ll get you another one (ah-ah-ah) Your right triangle teeth They started sucking blood for fun They couldn’t cut me deep You better try another one (ah-ah-ah) And in my own pollution I tear through the ribbon of sidewalk Your calculator eyes They started forming floods for fun Until your mother died Son, we’ll get you another one And another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and another one

I have no solution I’m like a blanket of tears In my own delusion I cut my veneers I need a lawyer Who can cover my loss I need a lawyer Who can cover my loss Ooh ooh Step away Let me speak to Robert I come bearing a gift Leave a message for Robert I came bearing a gift I need my mother To turn the other cheek I’m going to California For just a couple of weeks Ooh ooh Step away I need a garden hose I need a garden hose I need a lawyer

She fell down Like a wrecking ball With a Forest Whitaker jaw She’s got a smile Like a pumpkin pie With a minor character flaw She cannonballs She grew up She grew every way With a rough Guy Banister wit She’s got a roll Like a tube of film But it works, if the canister fits She cannonballs She stepped out Of the doorway framed Like a portrait of President Taft She’s got a waist Like a full suitcase Holds her weight in her prominent half She cannonballs

She holds her head upright She pulls her socks up high Ties her shoes up tight She’s got an asterisk With fine print on her fist Only clear in light Doo doo She needs to show her face She glues her lips in place Doubles just in case She screams to make a wish She marks up both her wrists Maybe I said too much Doo doo It hurts to say I hardly knew you

Blue Period 04:01
Back and forth with an awkward hop in his step He’s a penny shined with a trip to the bank in mind Side to side with a steady bob of his head She can’t maintain what it takes to stay in line He kissed her Like a sister He grew up calling No man ‘mister’ Up and down like a nervous lavender rage He’s a copper coin soaked in vinegar overnight Left to right like a drunken mouse in a maze To emphasize, she’s a sucker for his green light He kissed her Like a sister He grew up calling No man ‘mister’ His awkward swing Completely missed her

I worked for a company Fixing television sets Part-time from 10 to 3 And most days I’d forget It haunts me I drove to the country Smoking filtered cigarettes Got a job with a company It’s the worst of my regrets It haunts me

I need a garden hose 'Cause I know what the future holds The population of cyborgs on your street They’re copulating to fireworks I’ve got an asterisk A touch-tone telephone in my wrist An irremovable tracking chip Intoxication’s an empty sideways street Like operating in time warps I called the embassy No one there remembers me It seems the world’s forgotten me It seems the world deleted me And it goes so deep

I was set to burn in a wooden crate in a factory line Don't call it a sign That's a bit benign I lost my mind in the perfect place but the worst of times Don't fall into wine What a steep decline Leaving us to fight You try to justify How it could've been my fault I'm not the perpetual sort I was quick to turn to a fast escape from my fragile mind Don't call it a crime That's a bit unkind I wrung my hands around a soggy book about a friend of mine Don't say it's divine That’s a bit maligned Making us comply Never knowing why Or how it could’ve been my fault Making us comply Never knowing why And now I’m covered in asphalt I'm not the residual sort And I guess I learned how to pass the pain At the worst of times And not follow you blind Into a steep decline I was set to burn in a wooden crate In a factory line Don’t call it a sign That’s a bit benign
