I think it's time we had a little conversation Me and you I'm willing to admit it's overdue See I'm feeling like life's animation And these two-dimensional story-boards are wearing thin So let me have your exclusive undivided attention Grab a blank notebook and a fresh pen Where do I begin if I don't know the origin? How do I explain why I can't sleep for weeks without medicine? You wanna hear the most recent aggravation? Every time I touch the mic I get a standing ovation But it's probably 'cause there's no seats in here So let me see you on your feet in here You got a man speaking here But all they wanna do is cry into their beers But that's trivial, typical, predictable behavior I can't blame ya I'd probably do the same without my savior I come home at night and write scripture But somewhere back there I lost the big picture You paying attention, man? This fifty bucks an hour ain't cheap And I didn't come here to speak to dead meat I guess that's why the little tape recorder's running So you can play me back later, analyze my behavior Give it to your neighbors and other strangers Then y'all can laugh at my expenses, no pun intended And make new conversation about the new patient you're working with
