Now I’m buttered up
Now I’m gas lit
You’re a sociopath
And I’m a idiot
I’m an oarsman
On a devil’s ship
I can see the black rocks
We’re steering into them
I used to sit in the street
Crisscross applesauce
I used to run so fast
One thousand times around our block
It never gets old
It only gets late
And when the morning comes
I run and hide away
I’m feelin’ real heavy mental
Got the devil on my mind
And he’s gettin’ sentimental
For the olden times
When it was just him and me
And we sold this town
Yeah we were cuckoo for cat food
We were burnin’ it down
They’ve got a plan to keep me healthy
And I’m doing my best
But it’s hard stay asleep
When you don’t need any rest
I’m feelin’ real heavy mental
Got the devil on my mind
I got a shoebox
And I filled it up
With some memories
And some important stuff
The night, it called me
I got inside my car
And when I got there
I’d gone so very far
I found a piece of ground
And I began to dig
I put that box in a hole
Where no one would find it
The night is mine
And I know it’s true
That if I wanted
They’d never find me, too
I’m feelin’ real heavy mental
Got the devil on my mind
And he’s gettin’ sentimental
For the olden times
When it was just him and me
And we sold this town
Yeah we were cuckoo for cat food
We were burnin’ it down
They’ve got a plan to keep me healthy
And I’m doing my best
But it’s hard stay asleep
When you don’t need any rest
I’m feelin’ real heavy mental
Got the devil on my mind
