Notes:

Obviously the verses don't have guitar in. The build-up to the first
chorus, drums, bass then guitar is fairly important to the song, and
make sure your guitar is gonna make a powerfully distorted, loud noise
when it kicks in.

VERSE 1:

I sit around and watch the tube, but nothing's on
I change the channels for an hour or two
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors

VERSE 2:

Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feeling like a dog in heat
Barred indoors from the Summer street
I locked the door to my own cell

VERSE 3:

I sit around and watch the phone but no-one's calling
Call my pathetic, call me what you will
My mother said to get a job
But she don't like the one she's got
When masturbation's lost it's fun

CHORUS 3:
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
So damn bored I'm going blind
And loneliness has to suffice

CHORUS 4:
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Slipping away to paradise
Some say quit or I'll go blind
But it's just a myth
