Basket Case
Do you have the time to listen to me whine?
About nothing and everything all at once
I am one of those melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone, no doubt about it
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
I'm just stoned
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 her down
Grasping to control
So you better hold on
She
She screams in silence
A silent riot penetrating through her mind
Waiting for a sign to smash the silence with the brick of self-control

(chorus)
Are you locked up in a world that's been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you

She's figured out all her doubts were someone else's point of view
Waking up this time to smash the silence with the brick of self-control
When I Come Around
I heard you crying loud
All the way across town
You been searching for that someone
And it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
Well don't get lonely now
Dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazin my backyard
So don't get so uptight you been thinking about ditching me

Chorus:
No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around

I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user
So I don't need no accuser to try and slag me down
Because I know you're right
So go do what you'd like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your self doubt means nothing was ever there
You can't go forcing something if it's just not right
