attic songs by william & paul

the hermit crab


neighbors keep yelling
at me to get a life
i crawl back into my shell
it's too tight but its the only one that i know
stand in line wait my turn
no ones home and no one cares

all alone i'll be on my way soon
let me be a hermit crab in peace

hundreds now along the coral vines
stand in line wait my turn
too sick to realize why we're here
all too big waiting for the right fit

happy


you wanted a white picket
a gold dog and 2 kids
but i couldnt handle
i couldnt manage
i chose happy

you wanted me to be
just like you but i've got ADD
and i cant sit still
i hate boring i keep talking
i chose happy

broken down i'll be consumed
the waters thick so i start to drown
and i start to breathe in start to freak out
i head to shore
i chose happy

kill ur dad


i'll rescue you if you want me to
i'll kill myself if you want me to
i'll stay alive for you if you want me to
i'll stop smoking for you i'll quit my job for you

i'll toss you around if you want me to
i'll give you a scare if you want me to
i'll drink kool aid for you if you want me to
i'll break into school for you
i'll skip my class for you

i'll punish you if you want me to
i'll pick you up if you want me to
i'll build a home for you if you want me to
i'll start smoking for you i'll kill my mom for you

i'll leave you alone if you want me to
i'll run around if you want me to
i'll raise your kids for you if you want me to
i'll bite my nails for you i'll cut my hair for you

i'll show you love if you want me to
i'll listen to you if you want me to
i'll lock the doors for you if you want me to
i'll hold my breath for you i'll kill your dad for you

crazy baby crazy

nobody hates you they just dont love you
wipe your bloody nosy get up off the floor
baby take me out take me out to dinner
show me somewhere nice we can be alone

when youre feelin crazy
you can call your friends bring em to our home
youre acting crazy baby
we can cut em up put em in our fridge

its just a feeling you cant remember
you never sleep well when youre all alone
turn on the tv turn in back off
i dont wanna know what they have to say

nobody hates you they just dont love you
wipe your bloody nosy get up off the floor
baby take me out take me out to dinner
show me somewhere nice we can be alone

help me micky


stretch myself thin wrap me up
cover me in foil please
put me in the oven now
never ever take me out

scratch the skin on your leg
through your jeans till it bleeds
let the blood pool watch it drip
stain your socks and fill your shoes

odds and ends on your floor
off-brand mint nicorette
cigarette holes in your shirt
all these bottle from last night

disappear into my head
forgetting all the bad i did
help me micky calm me down
hold our breath till we pass out

body aches my body hurts
cant keep going on like this
need to lay down in the dirt
hold on slow down i feel sick


good shit coming got that good shit come
you got that good shit coming that good shit coming
got that good shit coming that good shit come
you got that good shit coming that good shit coming
that good shit coming that good

rotting


Im still hanging in the attic
I hope someone comes & finds me
cause I am rotting
Im rotting
please forgive me when you find me
god forgive me
Im nothing
