Oh yeah I'm a reaper man
Every good thing, I kill it good
Oh yeah I'm a hooligan
Out in the street making a mess
Fuck yeah I'm a deviant
When I go to the store I go undressed
Oh yeah I'm a sexy mess
Go on the date just to get the dress off
How'd I ever get so off my rocks?
How'd I ever get so lost
Everybody out there on the job
But not me
Oh, but not me
Oh yeah I'm an ugly mess
Not in the face, but in the head
I'm thinking that was best not said
But I say it anyway, then I say it again
They took a little look at my brain,
They come to find, all is sane
They took a little look at my heart
They found a prince living behind bars
How'd I ever get so off my rocks?
How'd I ever get so lost
Everybody out there on the job, but not me oh no
How'd I ever get so indiscreet, how'd I ever get so freakly
Everybody out there on a leash
But not me
I know I got no choice, got no choice, but to love myself
I know I got no choice, got no choice, but to love myself
God knows, you got no choice, got no choice, but to love yourself
God knows, I got no choice, got no choice, got no choice
How'd I ever get so off my rocks?
How'd I ever get so lost (who knows)
Everybody out there on the job, but not me oh no
How'd I ever get so indiscreet, how'd I ever get so freakly
Everybody out there on a leash
But not me
Oh, but not me
