Lyrics:

Do you have the time to listen to me whine about nothing and everything all at once.
I am one of those melodramatic fools neurotic to the bone no doubt about it.
Sometimes I give myself the creeps. Sometimes my mind play tricks on me.
It all keeps adding up im think im cracking up.
Am I just paranid. I'm just stoned.
I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams. She says it's lack of sex thst's bringing me down
I went to a whore she said my life's a bore. And quit my whining because it's bringing her down
Graspin to control so you better hold on.

Made in Sweden, Gothenburg!!!!!
