Picture yourself Sleeping on a plane There's something ticking in the overhead And inside your brains There's bodies in the water And bodies in the basement If heaven's for clean people, it's vacant And hey are you know? And hey are you being careful? And hey are you luke-warm? Hey ya you are I'm frantic So load me up Whatever puts me all the way out Picture yourself swimming in an ocean A million miles from nowhere and the nearest phone There's bodies in the water Floating all around you And all of them are talking, and they're comedians And hey are you you know? And hey are you special? And hey are you deformed? Hey ya you are I'm frantic So load me up It seems so practiced Me fucking this up Whatever puts me all the way out Picture yourself at the MGM Grand Murphy's fighting hok'em You're in the stands There's somebody in the water In the middle of the ocean A million miles from nowhere And they're alone I'm there alone So, so deformed I'm frantic So load me up This seems so practiced So take me all the way out Whatever puts me all the way out
