The Key To Life Vs 15 Minutes Of Fame

[Pilot over PA]

"Folks I know you're all dying to know how long--

I cannot answer that now. We're gonna have to remain as

technicians come over

and take a look at it and uh once that's done, then we'll give

you an estimate

I'd say it's probably at least uh 15 minutes or so."

[Verse 1]

It's like all of Franklin Avenue now sleeps upon my chest--my

chest

I've used cigarette butts and loose leaves to build my

nest--build my nest

Did I mention I appreciate the way you treat your guests?--guess

not

But I'm not really convinced when you say that you're

impressed--hell no

The line between MC and comedian gets a little thinner--little

thinner

Now it's nothing but ruffage for lunch and punchlines for

dinner--feed me

I've tried to open the blinds to let in some sunshine

Wound the watch 'til it broke all in hopes of stopping the time

[Chorus]

The key broke off in the ignition humping if I wandered off

through my thoughts wishing

Hoping this could be for you but it is for me patiently I stay

busy, I wait, I see [X2]

It's the sure shot [X6]

[Verse 2]

See it's simple--simple, it's not that I want to make it

ripple--ripple

But I feel I'm only being civil--civil

When I sit back and giggle like the rest it's the

ritalin-a-fest!

I'm stressed--stressed, but most of 'em would never guess--never

guess

That I'm closing in upon the dredge

Why? Cause I think it'd be best for the who? To hide the mess

from who?

It's all true--it's all true not good but I know it'll do--it'll

do

Still trying to reach the kid in you

So I may continue to find why this childproof's so wild

I smile--smile, tired, I walked a thousand miles--miles

wired over the thoughts I've dialed--dialed

Inspired by the monsters, the files of life full of stars and

stripes

[Chorus]

[Chorus End]

If you wanna sleep with me and talk about existance

We'll need more than 15 minutes

I'll tell you what let's forget about the fame

Push pause on the game and get to know each other by our real

names

If you wanna sleep with me and talk about existance

We'll need more than 15 minutes

I'll tell you what let's forget about the fame

Push pause on the game and get to know each other by our first

names

If you wanna sit with me and talk about existance

We'll need more than 15 minutes

I'll tell you what let's forget about the fame

Push pause on the game...What the f**k's your name?
