lyrics

Do I have a good reason to be paranoid
Am I paranoid about being paranoid
Why do these people keep talking to me
Why do they think that I want to speak

Just go, goooo, just go, gooooooo

Don’t pretend that you’ve seen me I haven’t been here
I’ve been working on learning how to disappear
For my next magic trick I want you to watch close
As I snap my fingers and take off your nose

Don’t take off your clothes... as I snap my fingers and you take off your clothes?

If you had the power to read my mind
I couldn’t tell you what you would find
Besides calliope music and an orange peel
And a daydream of being an electric eel

Don’t look too hard, (how will you be paying?) on my debit card

Sure I’m watching where I’m going
Can you see that my tires aren't slowing
Maybe I’m not being all that cautious
But I can’t pull over if someone gets nauseous

Don’t puke in my car, please don’t puke in my car

Have you ever seen the whites of your eyes dry out
As you stare into the mirror and begin to shout
“My skin is moulting! Not again!
I want it to stop n I’m tired of pain”

Hey man, we’ve all gotta change to grow again!

I’ve got a hangnail on every finger
And I never said that I was a good singer
Thank you to all of you just for listening
Thanks to the ocean for waving and glistening

juususs ss sgooo goooo, justtt gooo, GGOOOOo
