Hey man let me tell you the story of what I used to dream about as a playground boy
This is how it goes
I wish I was a born eccentric and could do something like, I don't know, write Chinese with my toes
I remember I could speak in tongues to an angry baboon, while he's trying to steal honey from protective bees
And then at the age of 21 I could crash to my d**h in a rock and roll legacy
Wow, the nights is coming dance
Wow, gotta show my mane
Read me, read me, read me my rights my left hand is punching me in the face
There is no case for the defense for a man who wasted his brain in a cosmic phase
I've got a swell on, the right side of my brain won't let
And I'll tell it I'm gonna have to put another bet on the back of thou might make a spaceship
Out of a blue piece of blueprints
1, 2, 3
I'm messing up my head
I'm deadpan
Looking up a place of simplistic wishes
Gonna stick it to em
Bang my drum to no war
Just love in the back of a limousine
Just for an afternoon, my life's a cartoon
All long, and colored, and quoted, and drawn
And there is something that makes me smile
Someone pull me back to land
I'm drowning, drowning in the waters of mediocrity
And I know that wasn't an ancient genius
Who wrote books on great philosophy (uh nuh)
Please don't leave here to wilt in the sunshine of ...
I need food as delicious as Kentucky Fried Chicken for my soul
So I can make history
Wow, the nights is coming dance
Wow, gotta show my mane
Read me, read me, read me my rights my left hand is punching me in the face
There is no case for the defense for a man who wasted his brain in a cosmic phase
I've got a swell on, the right side of my brain won't let
And I'll tell it I'm gonna have to put another bet on the back of thou might make a spaceship
