Suckin down lemon soda
Bionic strings in a smoked-out java joint, hey
Givin me what I need, oh yeah, oh yeah

And there ain’t no watch tellin the day
And there wasn’t anybody walkin by me
Tryin to change my clean ashtray

Layin down, gaggin just to hear something
Smashin your picture up against the wall just to hear a sound

And tell me why it doesn’t why it doesn’t match my floor
And maybe while you're at it you can tell me Mr. Janitor

Well there ain't no cushions in the booths

Gone cross-eyed staring at the walls
And there ain't no watch tellin the day
Hittin repeat on the CD player for the six six six six six sixth time
Screamin just to hear something
Gone cross-eyed staring at the walls
