Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothin' 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 addin' up.
I think I'm crackin' up.
Am I just paranoid,
Or am I just stoned?
I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams.
She said it's lack of sex
That's bringin' me down.
I went to a whore.
He said my life's a bore,
So quit my whining cuz
It's bringin' her down.
Sometimes I give myself the creeps.
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me.
It all keeps addin' up.
I think I'm crackin' up.
Am I just paranoid?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Grasping to control.
So I better hold on.
