lyrics

My thoughts control the helium
Balloon around my neck
It weighs it ton
Your troubles mesh
They prevent you from success
And it's true you dwell on the negative too much

The bottle rocket ignites in my room
In Outer Space, I've lost the will to move
And with procrastination
I will control the nation
And all my ghosts will be out of you

I'm spinning faster
And my legs are made of plaster
I'm spinning faster in Plaster of Paris
And there was just no way to prepare us for this

Watch and believe the honey bee that's buzzing out your door
In slow motion an invalid is seizing on the floor
A 30th century man has no means to understand
And neither do you
And neither do I

I've lost all hope in the radio
Like a tent revival or traveling show
And now it's crystal clear
There's just no future here
And it's time to go
When you're misdiagnosed
