And there you have it!

System as follows

(Fig.1 2x)

Do you have the time? To listen to me whine?

About nothing and everthing all at once

I am one of those Melodramatic fools

Neurotic to the bone No Doubt about it

(Fig.2 2x)

Sometimes I give myself the creeps

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

(Fig.3 1x)

It all keeps adding up

(Fig.4 1x)

I think Im cracking up

(Fig.5 1x)

Am I just paranoid

Im just stoned

(Fig.6 2x)

(Fig.7 2x)

I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams

she says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down

I went to a whore he said my life's a bore

and quit my whining cause it's bringing me down

(Fig.2 2x)

Sometimes I give myself the creeps

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

(Fig.3 1x)

It all keeps adding up

(Fig.4 1x)

I think I'm cracking up

(Fig.5 1x)

Am I just paranoid?

I'm just stoned

(Fig.6 4x)

(Fig.8 1x)

Grasping to control

so I better hold on

(Fig.7 2x)

(Fig.2 2x)

Sometimes I give myself the creeps

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

(Fig.3 1x)

It all keeps adding up

(Fig.4 1x)

I think I'm cracking up

(Fig.5 1x)

Am I just paranoid

Im just stoned

(Fig.9 3x)
