Lyrics
Hello
Come in and get yourself something to drink
And tell me something I don't know about you
I'll tell you something 'bout me
Does it feel right?
Like penetrating insight
Or blinded by the cuckoo with the hiccups
It's tricky to decide
I think I'm coming 'round - I'm seeing through the smoke
I think I'm coming 'round - I'm feeling signs of hope
Some water some whiskey some cigarettes or dope
I think I'm coming 'round can you help me up to cope?
We're trapped in and undergoing modernist sins
The probe cannot be driven through the kneecap
The kneecap will prevail here
So keep trying
Prevent yourself from crying
You're shaking hyperventilated mish-mash
Made entirely out of bones
I think I'm coming 'round - I'm seeing through the smoke
I think I'm coming 'round - I'm feeling signs of hope
Some water some whiskey some cigarettes or dope
I think I'm coming 'round can you help me up to cope?
I've been thinking one thing but doing something else in a daze, yeah
Trying to keep from getting uptight
Trying to keep from getting uptight
I've been thinking one thing but doing something else in a daze, yeah
Trying to keep from getting uptight
Trying to keep from getting uptight
The peace pipe is flying 'round the bat's head
The hippies will be camping out tonight (Kum bye ah, my lord)
Singing Hari Kari (Adikhari!)
And right now it's cooking up a storm now
It's intravenous terror en masse
Your spaceship has arrived - Please get in
I've been thinking one thing but doing something else in a daze, yeah
Trying to keep from getting uptight
Trying to keep from getting uptight
I've been thinking one thing but doing something else in a daze, yeah
Trying to keep from getting uptight
Trying to keep from getting uptight
I've been thinking one thing but doing something else in a daze, yeah
Trying to keep from getting uptight
Trying to keep from getting uptight
