Wakey wakey, rise and shine
It's on again, off again, on again
Watch me fall like dominoes
In pretty patterns
Fingers in the blackbird pie
I'm tingling tingling tingling
It's what you feel not what you ought to
What you ought to
Reasonable and sensible
Dead from the neck up

Because I'm stuck, stuck, stuck
Thought you had it in you but
Not, not, not
For no real reason

Squeeze the tubes and empty bottles and
Take a bow, take a bow, take a bow
It's what you feel not what you ought to
What you ought to
The elephant that's in the room is
Tumbling, tumbling, tumbling
In duplicate and duplicate and
Plastic bags and
Duplicate and triplicate
Dead from the neck up

Guess I'm stuck, stuck, stuck
Thought you had it in you but
Not, not, not
Exactly where do you get off?
Is enough, is enough
I love you but enough
Is enough, a last stop
For no real reason

You've got a head full
Of feathers
You're gonna melt in
To butter
