Lyrics

0:001 2 you know what to do
0:04Alright
0:26I'm uptight super
0:28Gathered out of the frame
0:29I shake a leg on the ground
0:30Like an epileptic battery man
0:31I'm making my move
0:33Letting loose like a belt
0:34Little worse for wear
0:36But I'm wearing it well
0:37Tell me what's wrong
0:38With a little grind bump
0:40When the stereos erupt
0:41With a kick drum punch
0:43Let's do it once
0:44Probably do it again and again
0:46Like you did it before
0:47But you're more erratic than then
0:49And you had a rough night
0:50And the night's just begun
0:52Let a little bit of this
0:53Pass with this gun
0:54Don't let it hold you back
0:56But you're already set
0:57No dead flowers gonna grow
0:59'Til the dirt gets wet
1:00Put the elevator music on
1:04Pull me back where I belong
1:06The ambulance sings along
1:09The fly on the wall
1:10Doesn't know what's wrong
1:12If I could forget myself
1:15Find another lie to tell
1:18If I had a soul to sell
1:21I'd buy some time
1:22To talk to my brain cell
1:36Bucket and a bottle of paint
1:38It's like the schoolhouse lights
1:39Will never turn on again
1:40Til the bottom wears off
1:42Of these high heeled boots
1:43The bodies all move
1:45Some backbone roots
1:46Everybody working hard
1:48'Til the yard is all clean
1:49The dishes wash good
1:50In the washing machine
1:52Now you brush your teeth
1:53And you comb back your hair
1:55You drive your vehicle
1:56Like you just didn't care
1:58You're walking to work
1:59With the boys and the girls
2:00And you're doing it there
2:02It's the end of the world
2:03Now everybody's sweating
2:05Forgetting what's on their mind
2:06With your hand like a mirror
2:08You can see what's inside
2:09When you're down and out
2:10Conquer it there's nothing that's real
2:12It's like a platinum card
2:13Too amputated to feel
2:15I got a silicon bible song
2:18Paranoid jumbo tron
2:21The lord took the weekend off
2:24The fly on the wall
2:25Doesn't know what's wrong
2:27If I could forget myself
2:30I'd find another lie to tell
2:32The bottom of an oil well
2:35Cell phone's ringing
2:37I could talk to my brain cell
2:42All the dudes with banjos
2:46Chicks with wicks
2:49Animals with bananas
2:58Got my hand like a mirror
3:13Got my hand like a mirror
3:14You can see what's inside
1 2 you know what to do
Alright
I'm uptight super
Gathered out of the frame
I shake a leg on the ground
Like an epileptic battery man
I'm making my move
Letting loose like a belt
Little worse for wear
But I'm wearing it well
Tell me what's wrong
With a little grind bump
When the stereos erupt
With a kick drum punch
Let's do it once
Probably do it again and again
Like you did it before
But you're more erratic than then
And you had a rough night
And the night's just begun
Let a little bit of this
Pass with this gun
Don't let it hold you back
But you're already set
No dead flowers gonna grow
'Til the dirt gets wet
Put the elevator music on
Pull me back where I belong
The ambulance sings along
The fly on the wall
Doesn't know what's wrong
If I could forget myself
Find another lie to tell
If I had a soul to sell
I'd buy some time
To talk to my brain cell
Bucket and a bottle of paint
It's like the schoolhouse lights
Will never turn on again
Til the bottom wears off
Of these high heeled boots
The bodies all move
Some backbone roots
Everybody working hard
'Til the yard is all clean
The dishes wash good
In the washing machine
Now you brush your teeth
And you comb back your hair
You drive your vehicle
Like you just didn't care
You're walking to work
With the boys and the girls
And you're doing it there
It's the end of the world
Now everybody's sweating
Forgetting what's on their mind
With your hand like a mirror
You can see what's inside
When you're down and out
Conquer it there's nothing that's real
It's like a platinum card
Too amputated to feel
I got a silicon bible song
Paranoid jumbo tron
The lord took the weekend off
The fly on the wall
Doesn't know what's wrong
If I could forget myself
I'd find another lie to tell
The bottom of an oil well
Cell phone's ringing
I could talk to my brain cell
All the dudes with banjos
Chicks with wicks
Animals with bananas
Got my hand like a mirror
Got my hand like a mirror
You can see what's inside
