What makes me think, everyday I need a drink
Now the drop goes down, I get that feeling I'm gonna drown
Taking off like a plane heading down the runway
Shivers down my spine, always feel the same way
I got a head like an atomic bomb
Waiting for the explosion
I feel like a wasp in a jar, buzzing round not getting very far
Staring into oblivion, with a bottle in my grasp
Never in a hurry, sinking fast
Taking off like a plane heading down the runway
Shivers down my spine, always feel the same way
Got a head like an atomic bomb
Waiting for the explosion
What is it that takes my brain, that pulls on the reins
What is it that takes my brain, that pulls on the reins
This merry-go-round won't stop, no one can help me get off
I'm slipping away feel the slide, I've no grip on my life
Taking off like a plane heading down the runway
Shivers down my spine, always feel the same way
I got a head like an atomic bomb
Waiting for the explosion
What is it that takes my brain, that pulls on the reins
What is it that takes my brain, that pulls on the reins
