Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Haven't seen the sun in weeks
My skin is getting pale
Haven't got a mind left to speak
And I'm skinny as a rail
Lightbulbs are getting dim
My interest is starting to wane
I'm told it's everything a man could want
And I shouldn't complain
[Verse 2]
Conversation's getting dull
There's a constant buzzing in my ears
This interview was void and numb
And I'm bored to tears
I'm bored to tears, yeah
I'm bored to tears, yeah
[Verse 3]
I've been lookin' for an accomplice
A confederate
Somebody as helpless
You're gonna find
I'll find a similar
If you're lookin' for cutthroat
Singing a bum note
Lookin' for an escape goat
You're gonna find
You'll find us there alone
[Verse 4]
Lookin' forcibly
I can get you somethin'
Somethin' good
Somethin' good to eat
[Verse 5]
Haven't had a decent meal
My brain is fried
Haven't slept a week for real
My tongue is tied
Lightbulbs are getting dim
My interest is starting to wane
I'm told it's everything a man could want
And I shouldn't complain
[Verse 6]
Conversation's getting dull
There's a constant ringin' in my ears
This interview was void and numb
And I'm bored to tears
I'm bored to tears, yeah
I'm bored to tears, yeah
