Basket Case
Vocabulary from Green Day: 'Basket Case'.
Do you have the time to listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once?

It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Or am I just stoned?

To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down

So quit my whining, 'cause it's bringing her down

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Uh, yuh, yuh, ya
Grasping to control
So I better hold on
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
