Lyrics
Basket Case
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once?
I am one of those melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone no doubt about it
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up!
Am I just paranoid
I'm just stoned!
I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams
She said it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
So quit whining cuz it's bringing her down
Gasping to control
So I better hold on
