And there you have it!
System as follows

(Fig.1  2x)
Do you have the time? To listen to me whine?
About nothing and everthing 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 plays tricks on me

(Fig.3  1x)
It all keeps adding up

I think Im cracking up

(Fig.5  1x)
Am I just paranoid 
Im just stoned

(Fig.6  2x)

(Fig.7  2x)
I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams
she says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
I went to a whore he said my life's a bore 
and quit my whining cause it's bringing me down

(Fig.2  2x)
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

(Fig.3  1x)
It all keeps adding up

I think I'm cracking up

(Fig.5  1x)
Am I just paranoid?
I'm just stoned

(Fig.8  1x)
Grasping to control
so I better hold on

(Fig.7  2x)

(Fig.2  2x)
