I can't eat, I can't sleep I can't live, I can't cry I can't die, I can't walk I can't talk, I can't booze I can't booze, steal your shoes so I can move Tumble in the rough Tumble in the rough Tumble in the rough I'm looking for a new meditation Still looking for a new way to fly Don't want any plastic validation Not looking for a new way to die I made excuses for a million lies But all I got was humble kidney pie So what? So what? I can't eat, I can't sleep I can't live, I can't cry I can't die, I can't walk I can't talk, can't booze I can't booze, steal your shoes so I can move Tumble in the rough Tumble in the rough Tumble in the rough I'm looking for a new stimulation Quite bored of those inflatable ties I'm looking for a new rock sensation Dead fish don't swim around in jealous tides I made excuses for a million lies But all I got was humble kidney pie So what? So what? So what? So what? I can't eat, I can't sleep I can't live, I can't cry I can't die, I can't walk I can't talk, can't booze I can't booze, steal your shoes so I can move Tumble in the rough Tumble in the rough Tumble in the rough I made excuses for a million lies But all I got was humble kidney pie I made excuses for a million lies But all I got was humble kidney pie So what? So what? So what? So what?
