Delirium Tremendous

Sweat, ache, hands shake
Heart begins to palpitate
Legs twitch, twist and kick
Something's wrong

And eyes wide, dilate
Every shadow seems unsafe
Can't sleep, can't eat
Help me, I'm gone

Well, I drank, sipped, sucked it up
Threw every last shred of hope in the cup
Then knocked it back, world fades to black
Not quenched until I drown

"Now, where's my soul?", said I
This twitching kid with the bloodshot eyes
Got oh-so high, failed to fly
Now fallin' to the ground (hey!)

What would make you get so battered
That your bones betray you, start to shatter
And you can't relate to all the happy little
Night-time boys and girls?

Stop, kick, twist, now

Teeth clench, hands too
Won't do what I want them to
Can't think, need drink
Wrong kind of thirst

But it's done, sense won
Couldn't handle all this fun
Save breath, crave death
Can't be much worse

And I'm sick, sigh, can't abide
This twitching track from wet to dry
I'm too old to cry, too young to die
Too rabid for the pack (pack)

So I'll spit, try to hold it in
Search for a sign of life within
And I'll fake a grin, until my skin
Is starting to crack (crack)

What would make you get so battered
That your bones betray you, start to shatter
And you can't relate to all the happy little
Night-time boys and girls?

Well, you've got to break through, got to battle through
The nights that hate you, 'til you're better and the
Shakes can't shake you, like the happy little
Night-time boys and girls

So just stay cool, and break through this sick delirium state
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh)
Got wasted, now I'm tastin' the cruel justice of fate

Can't sleep, bones creak, must seek
The night-time boys and girls!

What would make you get so battered
That your bones betray you, start to shatter
And you can't relate to all the happy little
Night-time boys and girls?
(The boys and girls!)

You've got to break through, got to battle through
The nights that hate you, 'til you're better and the
Shakes can't shake you, like the happy little
Night-time boys and girls
(The boys and girls!)
