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?
Or am I just stoned.
I went to a shrink.
To analyze my dreams.
She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down.
I went to a whore.
She said my life's a bore.
So quit my whining 'cause it's bringing her down.
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?
Uh, yuh, yuh, ya.
Grasping to control.
So I better hold on.
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?
Or am I just stoned.
