lyrics

With a high speed slide projector, if i tape my arms together
I will have twice the power or so they say
If i start recycling every thursday morning
There will still be bottles on the roadside anyway
Just not clean enough to drink from or appear as though
They’ve never been used
I’m like a penny in the pocket of a rich man
And you’re the rich man’s point of view
You needn’t look at me again

The number one insider, if mother nature were here I would probably fight her
I don’t need a final decider just something to light the way
I’m trying to ease you in, but my bristles and whistles are way too thin
You’re just waiting for someone to wait for me to say
What will it take to get the monster out of me, what will it take to get the monster into you
I’m gonna find a mini monster in my sleep if it’s the last thing that I do
There’s something swimming in my time now that you are mine

I paid good dough to see her be her own beekeeper
The combs have come to crash and carry me across this camp
I don’t recall the score that’s why I’m not camping here no more
It takes too long to wash the ‘x’s off my hands
The juggler does not need another amputation
It looks like we’ve got a crier in the plans
I will not be here long enough to satisfy all your demands
Needless to say the needle stayed

You found another crown, you tried to bring me down
You turned it up to loud now you’re gone
You cosmonaut you cause me not to go just splinter
Now i am gone again
Of all the things that i have ever had to wish for, now I just hope that I don’t starve to death
If I don’t get on wheels or nothing at least I’ll get you off my chest
As long as it’s not on my spine now that you are mine
