Freak Me Out

A bright light woke me up at two A.M.
Because I fell asleep talking to you again.
I am chasing circles in my head,
alarmed, alone, anxious, and afraid.
I'm thinking: "why is it that I've got to fall in love
with anyone that gives me any little bit of attention?"
And I know all the reasons, but they'd be so scary to mention,
So some nights, I stay up and I get angry,
But these days I'm so tired, so now it hardly ever happens.
And I remember I was cold one night on upper burnside,
But I thought about how warm you
were so it wouldn't really matter anyhow.

You gave a most tremendous shout,
and when the planets and the stars came out,
Well, it really kind of freaked me out.

It's hard for me to think it's not so pointless,
to go to work and go to sleep and wake back up
because all these stupid dreams keep me awake,
so I just sing my sad songs and read my sad
comic books and cry out of the saddest eyes I've got.
Every once in a while from on top of my ten
speed I feel happy, but that doesn't happen a lot.
And I know I'll feel better in a couple of
weeks, but until then I guess it's just you and me:
just a couple of kooks wearing doc marten
boots, drinking beer on the side of the street.

And I remember I was cold one night on upper burnside,
But I thought about how warm you
were so it wouldn't really matter anyhow.
You gave a most tremendous shout,
and when the planets and the stars came out,
Well, it really kind of freaked me out.
