You make me wanna Jump into the Mississippi River Wearing Cement Boots Stick my head in a crocodile's mouth So I don't have to talk to you No I don't wanna talk to you I hate it when I have to talk to you You make me wanna Jump into a building that's on fire Lay down on the couch and take a nap Stick a bottle rocket into both of my ears So I don't have to listen to you yap No I don't wanna listen to your crap Because baby you don't ever shut your face Isolation makes me kinda blue But so do they and so do you I'd rather never leave my house again Then make pretend That I would like to be your friend I'd rather dig my grave and climb inside You make me wanna Eat a dozen poison enchiladas And chase them with a shot of cyanide Build my house on a railroad track And when that whistle blows I'll wave goodbye Build my house on a railroad track And when that whistle blows I'll wave goodbye Yeah when that whistle blows I'll wave goodbye

I'm addicted to losing Losing my mind Losing my cool And losing my shit all the time I'm addicted to losing Losing my place Losing my step And I slip and fall right onto my face Then I look up and See you there and I feel fine Because when you smile it makes The whole stupid world shine And I don't mind living in Loserville It's got a lovely view I don't mind losing everything As long as I don't lose you Then I look up and See you there and I feel fine Because when you smile it makes The whole stupid world shine And I don't mind living in Loserville It's got a lovely view I don't mind losing everything As long as I don't lose you

Woke up sick So I phoned a friend She didn't answer So I tried again You treat me like shit But I can't say goodbye I'm an idiot angel And I'm ready to die I'm ready to die I'm ready to die I'm ready to die I'm ready to die Climbing the stairs Above the BBQ Shop I can hear the ocean Just up the block I have the ability To make the waves stop Tina, open up I'm trying to cop I'm ready to die I'm ready to die I'm ready to die I'm ready to die Woke up sick So I phoned a friend She didn't answer Well, aw, fuck it then You treat me like shit Now I must say goodbye Tell me why do I still feel Like I'm ready to die? I'm ready to die I'm ready to die I'm ready to die I'm ready to die I'm ready to die I'm ready to die I'm ready to die I'm ready to die

Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me You ain't no friend You ain't no friend of mine You're just some little fuck That likes to waste my time Get away, get away Get away from me I bit my tongue Til I drank my weight in blood I know what it feels like When you can't escape the mud But you got to try I don't wanna hear About the time that you spent alone Why did you never Reach out and touch the phone? You say that you wanna Put the past to rest So why did you tattoo the pain All across your chest? Across your chest Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Get away, get away Get away from me Fuck you

I'm capsizing into The river of shit again I ate too much pain And I got fat You held the rope above my head And tied a noose for me If I could just get my head right Then someday I'll be free You, you told me That you would walk through fire for me But somehow I wound up The one who got burned You held the rope above my head And tied a noose for me If I could just get my head right Then someday I'll be free Cockroach California And now the lights are coming on We left our dinner sitting out all night I want to be the grease that gathers At the bottom of your McDonald's bag I'll be the Homer to your Marge And the Zig to your Zag I'm capsizing into The river of shit again I ate too much pain And I got fat You held the rope above my head And tied a noose for me If I could just get my head right Then someday I'll be free You, you told me That you would walk through fire for me But somehow I wound up The one who got burned You held the rope above my head And tied a noose for me If I could just get my head right Then someday I'll be free Yes, I'll be free

Ahmed Johnson 04:21
lyrics

Thought my demons were exorcised But I was just giving them exercise Thought I got a brand new lease on life But I was looking at the world through a dead man's eyes You can call me Ahmed Johnson Because you know that I'm taking that Pearl River Plunge That Pearl River Plunge It looks like a mighty fine place to swim And the ice cold water gonna freeze my sins Crazy little bastard's moving faster all the time He longs to burn the bridge between his body and his mind Well I don't know just where I'm going, babe Won't you keep me in your heart? Every day I'm getting older And another day closer to falling apart Deep fry my heart when I'm dead Use my guts to butter your bread Squeeze all the juices from my brain And rearrange all the letters in my name Elephant bones shining in the moonlight I can't sleep because my skin don't fit right Sit tight as the day turns black I'm gonna walk into the night and I'm never coming back Crazy little bastard's moving faster all the time He longs to burn the bridge between his body and his mind Well I don't know just where I'm going, babe Won't you keep me in your heart? Every day I'm getting older And another day closer to falling apart Crazy little bastard's moving faster all the time He longs to burn the bridge between his body and his mind Well I don't know just where I'm going, babe Won't you keep me in your heart? Every day I'm getting older And another day closer to falling apart Every day I'm getting older And another day closer to falling apart

You've got to record everything Or at least write it down Play it all back in reverse Underground There ain't nobody to ask Because there's no one around Which came first The silence or the sound? Self Employed Unemployed Paranoid He's a working man With a factory tan His whole entire world is changing And he don't understand But he does what he does And he does what he can Because he's only a man And everything continues to unfold according to plan Self Employed Unemployed Paranoid Self Employed Unemployed Paranoid Self Employed Unemployed Paranoid Self Employed Unemployed Paranoid Self Employed Unemployed Paranoid Self Employed Unemployed Paranoid

It's A Big Ole Crazy World To Live In 05:08

It's a big ole crazy world to live in When you're on your own It's a big ole crazy world to live in It's hard to be full grown The undertaker's creeping closer Everyday There ain't a damn thing you can do To keep him at bay But realize that he's your friend And never be alone again Because life and death Are walking side by side It's a big ole crazy world to live in When you're on your own It's a big ole crazy world to live in It's hard to be full grown The big ole Cracker Barrel In the sky awaits There's a big beautiful Cobb Salad On each and everybody's plate The wolf's no longer at your door There's homemade rocking chairs and more And everybody's happy With themselves It's a big ole crazy world to live in When you're on your own It's a big ole crazy world to live in It's hard to be full grown It's a big ole crazy world to live in When you're on your own It's a big ole crazy world to live in It's hard to be full grown
