» Get off your sleazy ass

Sometimes intangible, when I’m thinking about the end and all, things went wrong, situation quite unmanageable, maybe they’ll kill me, fill me, eat me like Hannibal, but what friend of mine would be capable of being a cannibal? Roadblocks, can’t switch channels because the remote’s stuck, sooth me, please remove me with your tow truck, I’d rather live down in the tunnels like a Morlock, it’s easier hiding from the light than pressing your luck, my story is history, already been told, songs are like contracts, put my autograph down in five fold, the statues tell the artist to break the mould, the words keep the interpretation in a stranglehold, the single sold, the album never went gold, I felt cold, spending too much time worrying leaves you bitter and old, shit on your soul, and prepare for an adventure in the sewer, fewer things matter, I never met her and I never knew her,

Get off your sleazy ass,
Some say: “Get off your sleazy ass.”

We’re hanging around by the pool but we all know that we can’t swim, now and then somebody falls in, so we call in a life guard, but the moment life starts, we’re alone, so we know we gotta fight hard, the right part is taken by the wrong actor, cast away instead of casted cause you lack the X-factor, practice, but you don’t know how to react to this, after the impact is measured, we start to adapt, it’s the air, humid and hot, a heavy weight on our shoulders, waiting for instructions nobody ever told us, show us the light, teach us to distinguish between the wrong and the right, free us from the chains that keep us enslaved for life, I swallow tarantula juice to help me relax, at night I’m too consumed by all the facts, disconnect me please because I need to sleep, slap my face, pinch my arm before I’m in too deep,

Get off your sleazy ass,
Some say: “Get off your sleazy ass.”

I am never gonna learn, never gonna see it right,
Blindfolded I stumble into the maze,
Write me a protocol, a role definition,
Is it me, I don’t care, as long as it can’t go wrong,
Why am I awake, why are we here, why do I care,
Why can’t I switch channels during commercial breaks?
You heard somebody say: “It’s gonna be okay, don’t be afraid!”
Whoever told you that must be your enemy!

I can breath again, it’s such a relief my friend, I drove myself crazy, am I crazy? Well, indeed I am, I can’t see the end though it’s in front of me, each day I pray I feel okay, but what’s it gonna be? I wish you’d run to me, the ice burst, the first sign of trouble in paradise, nailed to the floor, I leave my allies paralyzed, can’t be satisfied, no matter how hard I try, I’m no part of it, still observing from the distance like a satellite, the only approach is to keep your eyes focused, throw me a coach who can teach me to hocus pocus, cockroaches turn into beautiful butterflies at the first sign of a blue sky, wondering who the hell am I, it’s do or die, no time for irrational behavior, we’ll save your ass if you promise to be the savior, it’s too late for excuses, that’s what the truth is, you can’t dance if you don’t know what the groove is,

Get off your sleazy ass,

Lost beyond recognition,
We’re lost beyond recognition.
