lyrics

I'm feeling manic, feeling panic almost every day
I'm feeling static, its traumatic--I don't know what to say.
It's like I'm busting at the seams right now for you to come on, come on
I've got everything I need right now but I could still want some more.

I guess it happens every day, the stale taste of routine in disarray.

I've got small problems, I can't solve them and its hurting my brain.
I'm losing vision, losing witnesses, dismantling my case
I got my own judge and jury right now but I can't come on
I got the motives and the means right now but I can't come on.

I guess it happens every day, you know, the state, the stale taste of routine in disarray.
You've gotta let it go as you grow old, you gotta let it go or it takes hold.

That parrot talking on your shoulder
keeps repeating that "you're getting older"
but I can't let go of my youth just yet
I've got the axe if you've got the neck
I've got the tax if you've got the check
I've got the dis if you've got respect
the adult world is so inside out
I just wanna twist and shout
faux nostalgia likes to pout
the past is in and the presents out

You've got to get me through this maze
I'm drunk, I'm timid, I'm mad--
I think i'm going through a phase.

I know I'm getting old, the jokes been told
I'm scared of getting old--wait, shit I'm on a roll!

I gotta let it go?
