VERSE 1
Watching a movie by Marty DiBergi.
Debating who was better -- Ginger or Fergie.
Scratching an itch way down deep in my pocket .
If time is so precious why can't I hock it?
Thought that this would be easy. I don't know why.
Do you think that I'm crazy. Feel like I might die.
Feel like I might die.
VERSE 2
Id is taking over. My Ego's on vacation.
Pass the ammunition so I can change the station,
Saving all my money for a better pot to piss in.
My head is full of demons now but I don't have to
listen.
Do you think that I am able? Tell me my friend.
Trying hard to be stable. Here I go again. Again.
(MIDDLE)
The angel of death is giving me a look.
Writing my name down in his little book.
Struck down by lightning coming over here.
Curled in the fetal; deliver us from fear.
LEAD
VERSE 3
Crashing a party by making a wrong turn.
Tell me the future but not in the long term.
Cars and guitars, yeah, that's all I ever wanted.
I never got it so I'm never gonna flaunt it.
Someone's takin' me. Places I can't see.
Someone's shakin' me.
RUDE AWAKENING.
RUDE AWAKENING.
RUDE AWAKENING.
