Stress

Oh, yeah

Coming at ya

I'm addicted to stress

That's the way that I get things done

If I'm not under pressure, then I sleep too long

And I hang around like a bum

I think I'm going nowhere and that makes me nervous

Everybody's out to get me, but I feel all right

Everybody's thinking 'bout me

It's the little things that get you

It's the little things that get you when you weren't paying attention

It's the little things that get you

It's the little things that get you when you weren't paying attention

I'm trying to cut down on my caffeine consumption

So when I get up I just have one cup of coffee

And I like to have another cup of coffee with my breakfast

And on the way to work I like to get a cup of coffee

Like the kind of cup of coffee that you get with the doughnuts

But I never get the doughnut, I just have the cup of coffee

And when I get to work I like to have a cup of coffee

'Cause I like to have a coffee when I'm talking on the phone

But it usually goes cold, and I need to get another cup of coffee

And it's lunch, and I have an espresso

And when I get back it's not morning anymore

So I have a diet cola and another diet cola

But then I'm feeling fine, and I'm feeling pretty sharp

And I'm feeling pretty wired, and I'm getting things done

But right about two, I get this little tiny migraine

It starts above my eyes, and it moves to the back of my neck

And it moves to the bottom of my spine

But it doesn't get there until five or six o'clock

Which is the end of the day, so I'm fine!

So I'm fine!

Except when I have to work late

When I have to work late

Which I usually do

I'm addicted to stress

That's the way that I get things done

If I'm not under pressure, then I sleep too long

And I hang around like a bum

And I think I'm going nowhere and that makes me nervous

Everybody's out to get me, but I feel alright

Everybody's thinking about me

Hey, how ya doing

Looking good!

Why thank you!

You been working out?

Can you tell?

Yeah, I can tell

Alright, see ya later

Bye-bye!

I love to work, I love to run, I love to play real hard

I love to steal little things from the grocery store

Like a piece of bubble gum

Or sometimes I just stick my thumb in a peach

And leave it there

I love to work, I love to run, I love to water-ski

Snowboard, jet-ski, skydive, para-sail, hang glide

Roller-blade, mountain bike, bungee jump--

Well I mean I'd love to do these things if I ever had the time

I love to work, I love to work, I love to work out after work

I love to spend a little time with this woman I'm seeing

Except uh, we never really get the time to spend together

So we call each other up, and we talk about work

But I think I'd really love is to get out by myself

On a little tiny island

In the middle of the ocean

With just me and a book and a cellular phone

And a personal computer in case something came up

And I'd eat and I'd drink

And I'd run and I'd sleep

And I wouldn't do nothing, except swim all day

Except you know, my beeper doesn't work underwater

Where are the sharks?

And there's this kind of anemone that sticks in your foot

And the poison goes up to your brain, and you die

And sand fleas!

Sand fleas!? Yuck!

But actually I think it would be really relaxing

Just me by myself in the middle of the ocean

And that's what I'd really love to do more than anything else

Except I'd probably hate it

I'm addicted to stress

That's the way that I get things done

If I'm not under pressure then I sleep too long

And I hang around like a bum

I think I'm going nowhere and that makes me nervous

Everybody's out to get me, but I feel alright

Everybody's thinking about me

But I feel alright

Everybody's out to get me, but I feel alright

Everybody's thinking about me

But I feel alright

Everybody's out to get me, but I feel alright

Everybody

Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright

Everybody's thinking about me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh!

I feel alright

Everybody's thinking about me
