[00:08.690]I'm friends with the monster
[00:10.940]that's under my bed
[00:12.190]
[00:12.890]Get along with the voices
[00:14.530]
[00:15.120]inside of my head
[00:16.720]
[00:17.300]You're trying to save me,
[00:19.510]stop holding your breath
[00:21.110]
[00:21.660]And you think I'm crazy,
[00:23.950]yeah, you think I'm crazy
[00:25.920]
[00:26.990]I wanted the fame,
[00:27.710]but not the cover of Newsweek
[00:29.150]Oh, well, guess beggars can't be choosey
[00:31.390]Wanted to receive attention for my music
[00:33.520]Wanted to be left alone in public.
[00:35.170]Excuse me
[00:35.740]For wanting my cake and eat it too,
[00:37.300]and wanting it both ways
[00:38.270]Fame made me a balloon
[00:39.420]'cause my ego inflated
[00:40.180]When I blew; see, but it was confusing
[00:42.120]'Cause all I wanted to do
[00:43.220]is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
[00:44.880]Abused ink, used it as a tool
[00:47.070]when I blew steam
[00:48.210]Hit the lottery, oh wee
[00:49.350]But with what I gave up
[00:50.600]to get it was bittersweet
[00:51.500]It was like winning a used mink
[00:53.050]Ironic 'cause I think
[00:53.790]I'm getting so huge I need a shrink
[00:55.180]I'm beginning to lose sleep:
[00:56.070]
[00:56.710]one sheep, two sheep
[00:57.680]Going cuckoo and cooky as Kool Keith
[00:59.540]But I'm actually weirder than you think
[01:00.930]'Cause I'm
[01:01.690]I'm friends with the monster
[01:03.680]that's under my bed
[01:05.590]Get along with the voices
[01:08.010]inside of my head
[01:10.170]You're trying to save me,
[01:12.290]stop holding your breath
[01:14.510]And you think I'm crazy,
[01:16.690]yeah, you think I'm crazy
[01:18.360]
[01:19.050]Well, that's nothing
[01:21.000]
[01:27.890]Well, that's nothing
[01:29.710]
[01:37.350]Now, I ain't much of a poet
[01:38.500]but I know somebody once told me
[01:39.720]To seize the moment
[01:40.520]and don't squander it
[01:41.430]'Cause you never know
[01:42.070]when it all could be over tomorrow
[01:43.430]So I keep conjuring, sometimes
[01:44.600]I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
[01:45.820]
[01:46.630](Yeah, pondering'll do you wonders.
[01:48.190]No wonder you're losing your mind
[01:49.620]the way it wanders.)
[01:50.590]Yoda-loda-le-hee-hoo
[01:50.800]
[01:51.830]I think it went wandering off down yonder
[01:53.450]And stumbled on 'ta Jeff VanVonderen
[01:55.510]'Cause I need an interventionist
[01:57.470]To intervene between me
[01:58.510]and this monster
[01:59.410]And save me from myself
[02:00.230]and all this conflict
[02:01.590]'Cause the very thing
[02:02.260]that I love's killing me
[02:03.120]and I can't conquer it
[02:04.360]My OCD's conking me in the head
[02:06.560]Keep knocking, nobody's home,
[02:07.570]
[02:08.100]I'm sleepwalking
[02:09.050]I'm just relaying what the voice
[02:10.160]in my head's saying
[02:10.790]Don't shoot the messenger,
[02:11.420]I'm just friends with the
[02:12.230]I'm friends with the monster
[02:14.090]that's under my bed
[02:15.690]
[02:16.270]Get along with the voices inside of my head
[02:20.050]

[02:22.750]stop holding your breath
[02:24.490]
[02:25.020]And you think I'm crazy,
[02:27.190]yeah, you think I'm crazy
[02:29.380]Well, that's nothing
[02:30.840]
[02:31.830]that's under my bed
[02:33.320]
[02:33.900]Get along with the voices

[02:36.090]inside of my head
[02:37.340]
[02:38.060]You're trying to save me,
[02:39.760]
[02:40.380]stop holding your breath
[02:41.710]
[02:42.600]And you think I'm crazy,
