Flagpole Sitta Lyrics

[00:15.08] I had visions, I was in them
[00:16.31] I was looking into the mirror
[00:20.38] To see a little bit clearer
[00:23.18] The rottenness and evil in me
[00:27.95] Fingertips have memories, mine can't forget the curves of your body
[00:33.24] And when I feel a bit naughty
[00:36.29] I run it up the flagpole and see
[00:39.04] Who salute but no one ever does
[00:41.31] But, I'm not sick
[00:43.49] But I'm not well
[00:46.75] And I'm so hot
[00:50.02] 'Cause I'm in hell
[00:54.42] Been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding
[00:59.54] The cretins cloning and feeding
[01:02.58] And I don't even own a TV
[01:07.84] Put me in the hospital for nerves and then they had to commit me
[01:12.98] You told them all I was crazy
[01:16.04] They cut off my legs now I'm an amputee
[01:19.64] God, damn you
[01:20.89] But, I'm not sick
[01:23.39] But I'm not well
[01:26.75] And I'm so hot
[01:29.94] 'Cause I'm in hell
[01:34.21] But, I'm not sick
[01:36.43] But, I'm not well
[01:39.96] And it's a sin
[01:43.25] To live so well
[01:48.25] I wanna publish zines
[01:52.70] And rage against machines
[01:56.66] I wanna pierce my tongue
[01:58.90] It doesn't hurt, it feels fine
[02:03.09] The trivial sublime
[02:06.36] I'd like to turn off time
[02:10.28] And kill my mind
[02:13.37] You kill my mind, mind
[02:24.45]
[02:28.42] Paranoia, paranoia
[02:30.02] Everybody's coming to get me
[02:33.67] Just say you never met me
[02:36.46] I'm running underground with the moles, (digging holes)
[02:41.84] Hear the voices in my head
[02:43.47] I swear to god it sounds like they're snoring
[02:47.11] But if you're bored then you're boring
[02:50.16] The agony and the irony, they're killing me (uh-ooh)
[02:54.98] But, I'm not sick
[02:57.56] But I'm not well
[03:00.95] And I'm so hot
[03:03.93] 'Cause I'm in hell
[03:08.54] But, I'm not sick
[03:10.50] But, I'm not well
[03:13.98] And it's a sin
[03:16.94] To live this well
[03:19.49] One, two, three, four
[03:20.84]
