I stand on my head
And wonder and dread
What should I do
I lost the important screw
It was in a bag on the floor
While I was working on the door
Now the work can't be done
And I've lost the noonday sun
Fuck, now I'm dead
The blood gone from my head
I'll never finish the job
The people will sit and sob
And I'll be lost
Like the bone, forgotten, tossed
To the cat on the moon
In the middle of the raised spoon
What happened to that damn screw
Ouch, it's here in my shoe
Should I put it in place
My mind does race
The driver waits in the front
Who cares about that cunt
I should go while they all hunt
That does it, I'm outta here
Let the others beware
The screw is forever mine
Forget the damn sign
We are better off alone
Than sitting by the phone
Let's run away
The others can stay
And figure out how to live
Without all we have to give
Then they will know the truth
Like a hired sluth
Looking for a clue
As to where to put the screw
But they'll never find
The place in my mind
That I but this bit
Along with the rest of their shit
My mind is free
My eyes can see
Life is mine
On that thought I dine
And I'll grow fat
Under my hat
While I sit on my ass
Watching the others pass
Looking for the screw I hid
When I was a kid
