Basket case

Basket case Lyrics

Dear mother,
Do you have the time, To listen to me whine,
Can you hear me whining?
About nothing and everything all at once?
It's been three whole weeks
I am one of those,
Since that I have left your home
Melodramatic fools,
This sudden fear has left me trembling
Neurotic to the bone,
Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
No doubt about it.
And I'm feeling so alone


Sometimes I give myself the creeps,
Pay attention to the cracked streets
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me,
And the broken homes
It all keeps adding up,
Some call it the slums
I think I'm cracking up!
Some call it nice
Am I just paranoid?
I want to take you through
Or am I stoned
a wasteland I like to call

my home
I went to a shrink,
Welcome To Paradise
To an*lyze my dreams,

She says it's lack of sex thats bringing me down.
A gunshot rings out at the station
I went to a whore,
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
It said my life's a bore,
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
So quit my whining cause its bringing her down.
For some strange reason it's now

Feeling like my home
Sometimes I give myself the creeps,
And I'm never gonna go
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me,

It all keeps adding up,
Pay attention to the cracked streets
I think I'm cracking up!
And the broken homes
Am I just paranoid?
Some call it slums
Ayayahuh!
Some call it nice

I want to take you through
Grasping to control...
a wasteland I like to call
So I better hold on...
my home

Welcome To Paradise
Sometimes I give myself the creeps,

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me,
Dear mother,
It all keeps adding up,
Can you hear me laughing
I think I'm cracking up!
It's been six whole months since
Am I just paranoid?
Since that I have left your home
Or am I messed up?
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it the slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through
a wasteland I like to call
my home
Welcome To Paradise
