Basket Case

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 crackin’ up
Am I just paranoid
No, I’m just stoned

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it’s the lack of sex
That’s bringing me down

I went to a whore
He 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 crackin’ up
Am I just paranoid

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 crackin’ up
Am I just paranoid
No, I’m just stoned
