lyrics

I woke up with the sweats I was cold and alone
im gonna get cancer from the cell phone
Im holding it together as best I can
The delhi sky turned from grey to yellow in this dust pan
When I looked into the mirror I was growing black oiled wings
Ive been growing weary of people and other little things
I just want to sleep the whole night through
I want peace and quiet and I want her to come back too
I cant find the door, nothings gonna change
Good lord I must be going insane

It’s a festival of lights, I want this headache to stop
Its evil carnival ride and you just cant get off
If I found out later what I suspected to be true
Id tear this train of the tracks and come after you
I spoke to a man, he must have been the devil
He smokes chillim pipe until he’s face down on the gravel
Hes says I lost my hearing the gun fire was too loud
Sometimes when Im sleeping I can hear that popping sound
I smoke cause it suits me , im no john wayne
But I can tell you brother, I must be going insane

I dreamt I was murdered , with a knife through the chest
Im feeling paranoid , I got mushrooms on my breath
The wooden path is lit up with red lights down to the sea
Cant you just leave me alone and let me be
The trees are moving , theres faces in the leaves
I should crawl across the sand on my bare knees
Theres only thing ,really a man like me can know
If we’re ever gonna get anything done the president must go
that kinda talk is crazy, you could get 10 lashes with the cain
I don’t know what im saying, I must be going insane

I need to leave, maybe I should stay
Sacrifices need to be made,
I could talk my way out, im clever enough
This boat is gonna capsize, the waves are getting rough
If its not this , its another thing, it just doesn’t stop
The water is poisoned at this lingerie shop
I just need sleep, ive got cuts on my feet
Im tired off all the meaningless conversations with the travelers I met
It’s the same thing, everywhere that I go
I need a place where everyone just moves slow
If i face the storm , Im bound to get wet from the rain
Its all happening now, I must be going insane
