[Intro: N/A]

He just goes

A little mad sometimes

We all go a little mad sometimes


[Verse 1: Rob Riley]

The monkeys no longer on my back, he's on my knee

Directly in front of me, keeping me company

Comfortably, confronting my inner suffering

Summoning my inner demons, vehemently leaning

Towards steaming like a locomotive, the more commotion I go

Into convulsions, I'm a timed explosive, exploding

Holding swollen emotions, the red handed culprits me

Slowly but surely going through the motions

Over and over again, to get it out of my head

Would be a pleasure instead, it's lingering in there

Like memories of the dead, I can't let go of

So I drown it in art, like the arc of Noah's


[Hook x2: Rob Riley]

Soon as I think I'm coming out it

The water rises and Im slowly drowning

Feet steady sinking into solid ground then

No helping hand around to even pull me out it

I doubt it


[Verse 2: Rob Riley]

Though his was submerged in waters, or so I've read

I'm prepared to get more in depth

In debt over my own head, trying to see out of

My sea of problems but ain't we lucky we got em

So sayeth the theme song

Fucked up but it's something to lean on

For support like skyscrapers in King Kong

I mean well though it may as well seem wrong

Holding something of value in my pink palm

So hard the large muscle in my right arm

Retracts

Big enough for everyone to see that

I'm going out swinging like speed bags

These sprags sittin on ass whippings like bean bags


[Hook x2: Rob Riley]

Soon as I think I'm coming out it

The water rises and Im slowly drowning

Feet steady sinking into solid ground then

No helping hand around to even pull me out it

I doubt it


[Verse 3: Rob Riley]

Comfortable, they coming to you, hope you wearin a pee pad

I'm a hover over they nugget like heat lamps

Above it washin my hands of it with a clean rag

Erstwhile, I'll drag behind for now

Looking for something furtile to mow down

Slowing down, the older I get the more I'm feelin it

Shaking these stank fish from my pole, so I won't reel 'em in
