Could you get me a blanket and put me to bed? Put me to rest and get a lullaby stuck in my head. I need somebody to lean on, got a tendency to dream on, so don’t wake me up. Could you get me a drink or get me a think tank? I got a feeling that I’m running out of luck and I got two shots and another one is coming cause I’m drowning it out tonight. Now I’m thinking that I watched it end My mind is breaking up because I lost a friend I pushed her way too far and she fell off the edge My mind is breaking up because I lost a friend Lost a friend and now she’s gone I should have never touched you, but I just wanted to love you one more time and now I’m drunk thinkin of you and I got a lot of regrets, I made a lot of mistakes, and now I just want somebody to come and take my place Could you get me a new face? Or get me a new place Or get me a new fang just so I can bite somebody I don’t want to fight somebody, but sometimes I just want to be punched so I can feel the lights above me Could you get me together? Could you send me to the looney bin so I can feel the better weather The clouds are ruminating inside my head I said its loud and ruminating inside my head I said its loud and ruminating inside the bed That we used to sleep in together but now its dead And I just want you to know that my soul has a hole and I feel like I want to explode Because I watched it end My mind is breaking up because I lost a friend I pushed her way too far and she fell off the edge My mind is breaking up because I lost a friend Lost a friend oh yes I watched it end My mind is breaking up because I lost a friend I pushed her way too far and she fell off the edge My mind is breaking up because I lost a friend Lost a friend and now she’s gone

I didn’t mean to hurt ya I didn’t mean to push ya, no I didn’t mean to act up, no, I didn’t mean to fight Could ya tidy up my face, and put me back in my place And get me some good graces so I can be okay Could ya keep the lights on, I’m looking for someone To help me find a new disguise Now the smoke is rising, you’re cooking me up in your pan with the flame on high Could ya help my find my soul and keep me out of the cold, yea Put me in a straightjacket and just leave me alone I’m gonna lose my patience, So I’m locking it up and throwing away the key. I’ve got a new frustration so I’m taking my time to feed my fantasy I’m gonna lose my patience, So I’m locking it up and throwing away the key. I’ve got a new frustration so I’m taking my time to feed my fantasy Ooo sick and stupid I think I’m gonna lose it I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you is clueless about me Help me back on my feet, yea, give me just what I need Don’t wake me up when I’m dreaming Hallucinating stupid illusions, the elemental boo hiss Holy holy matrimony, hopefully I’m scooting tonight You strip me down to my bones Creeping up on that throne, yea Put me in a straightjacket and just leave me alone I’m gonna lose my patience, So I’m locking it up and throwing away the key. I’ve got a new frustration so I’m taking my time to feed my fantasy I’m gonna lose my patience, So I’m locking it up and throwing away the key. I’ve got a new frustration so I’m taking my time to feed my fantasy

Politician folding origami. All the children with automatic weapons And everybody’s running from a new tsunami All the killing in the hotel lobby. Politician folding origami. All the children with automatic weapons And everybody’s running from a new tsunami Don’t we got a lot of work to do today? Don’t we got a lot of mouths to feed? Don’t you got a lot of friends to make today? Gonna wait the day out, so give me strength today now, yea Gonna wait the day out, so give me strength today now, yea Give me strength today now, yea

In Control 03:13
I didn’t mean to run, but you were the last one I didn’t mean to hide, but you left at the first light And you’re all I know but you’re not in control You’re all I know They let you off the hook cause you played by the book You stumble and you fall and we watched it all And you’re all I know but you’re not in control You’re all I know And you’re all I know but you’re not in control You’re all I know
