Lyrics

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 im cracking up
am i just paranoid?, im just stoned

i went to a shrink to anylise my dreams
she said its lack of sex thats bringing me down
i went to a whore he said my lifes a bore
and quit my whining cos its bringing her down

sometimes i give myself the creeps
sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
it all keeps adding up
i think im cracking up
am i just paranoid? well i dont know

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 im cracking up
am i just paranoid? well i dont know
