Electro-shock Blues

Feeling scared today
Write down "i am ok"
A hundred times the doctors say

I am ok
I am ok
I'm not ok

Skin is crawling off
Mopping the sweaty drops
Sticking around for this shit

Another day
Another day
Not another day

Pink pill feels good
Finally understood
Take me in your warm, embrace
I am trying
I am trying

Efil's good and the time is right
I'll bundle up and slip away
The count is down and the drip is up
It's time to split this hunk of clay

Now you can bring my suitcase
But you can't bring me
And you can have all the money

p.s. you rock my world


I was at a funeral the day i realised
I wanted to spend my life with you
Sitting down on the steps at the old post office
The flag was flying at half mast
And i was thinkin' 'bout how everyone was dying
And maybe it is time to live

I don't know where we're going
I don't know what we'll do

Walked into the thrif-tee
Saw the man with the hollow eyes
Who didn't give me all my change
But it didn't bother me this time
'cause i know i only got this moment
And it's good

I went to the gas station
Old woman honked her horn
Waiting for me to fix her car
I don't know where we're going
I don't know what we'll do

Laying in bed tonight i was thinking
And listening to all the dogs
And the sirens and the shots
And how the careful man tries to dodge the bullets
While a happy man takes a walk
And maybe it is time to live

See this watch she gave me?
Well it still ticks away
The days i'm claiming back for me

The medication's wearing off
Gonna hurt not a little, a lot
Keep on tickin' you're not lickin' me

Step on a crack break your mother's heart
Red light green light black
Suicide e-mail do not delete
Plug it back in the jack

Start to be what they want you to be
And you see yourself as they see you

Sunsrise at the corner of
Sunset and alvarado
I think what the hell do i do now
Watch the day disintegrate
So i can stay up late and wait

See this watch she gave me?
Well it still ticks away

Got a 3 speed and banana seat
Sitting back on the sissy bar
Went to sev and got got a drink
Wish i was driving in daddy's car

And i looked up at the sky last night
And i thought i saw a bomb
And why won't you just tell me what's going on?

Riding down on sprinhill road
Meeting alfred out in the woods
Dogs bark and mosquito's bite
Scratching the itch that makes it feel good

And i looked into the mirror last night
All i saw was a pretty blonde
And why won't you just tell me what's going on?

Life is funny
But not ha ha funny
Peculiar i guess
You think i got it going my way
Then why am i such a fuckin' mess?

Want a pony and a birthday cake
Want a party with a scary clown
Kneel down and bow to the princess
Kneel down for the queen of the town

And i looked up at the sky last night
And i thought i saw a bomb
And why won't you just tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on

The kids are diggin' up a brand new hole
Where they put their deadbeat mom
Grandpa's happy watching video porn
With the closed caption on
And father knows best
About suicide and smack

Well, hee hee hee
Cancer for the cure
Cancer for the cure
Buckle up and endure now baby
Cancer for the cure

You're dead but the world keeps spinning
Take a spin through the world you left
It's getting dark a little too early
Are you missing the dearly bereft?

Taking flight and you could be
Here tomorrow
Taking flight, well, you could get
Here tonight

I'm gonna fly on down for the last stop
To this town
What?
I'm gonna fly on down then fly away
Well, alright

Get down

Takin' a spin throught the neighbourhood
The neighbours scream
Whatchya talkin' bout?
'cause they don't know how to
Let you in
And i can't let you out

What if i was not your only friend
In this world
Can you take me where you're going
If you're never coming back

I'm gonna fly on down for the last stop
To this town
I'm gonna fly on down then
Fly away on my way

Get down

Why don't we take a ride away up high
Through the neighbourhood
Up over the billboards and the factories
And smoke

I'm gonna fly on down for the last stop
To this town
Yeah
I'm gonna fly on down then
Fly away on my way
Fly away
Get down

Going to your funeral and feeling i could scream
Everything goes away
Driving down the highway through the perfect sunny dream
A perfect day for perfect pain

Look at all the people with the flowers in their hands
They put the flower on the box
That's holding all the sand that was...
That was once...
That was once you

Honolulu hurricane i knew that you were not insane
Living in the insane world
Smiling like it's no big deal
Scrabby wounds that never heal
The woman was only a girl

Look at all the people with their heads down in their hands
When everything i'm feeling makes it hard to understand
That,
What i need to miss...
It's what i need to miss...
Is you

Going to your funeral and i'm feeling like a fool
No one's gonna take the blame
Thinking about the days of hanging out behind the school
Everything goes away
