"HEADCASE" lyrics

Get back into a normal routine
When I never had a fucking routine in the first place
Give blood to the money machine
'Cause I never had a fair fucking chance in the rat race
Shut off from the people I need
When the sun's got me feeling paranoid in the worst way
Fall back to the guts and the sleaze
'Cause I gotta fill the role as your new favourite headcase

Give them a show, they're looking in the window
Just strike a pose, everything's artificial
On tippy toes, looks like we're in a pickle
It's okay, everything's fine, I'll just implode a little

It's nothing new, I've come to hate
The sour taste of permanent disregulation
'Cause all I do is make mistakes
And what I say is open to interpretation
Show you how to make something from nothing
I can help you monetise your pain and your suffering
I'll wear the crown, I'll be the face
Now coronate your new favourite headcase

Nothing quite like a bird's eye view
Of you at the scene of a car crash
Bite the curb and baby, I'll chew
Turning heads so fast, it will give you whiplash
Keep your gaze, don't ever look away
It's the fall you crave
Stick around for the backlash
Next day delivered
Sealed neat with a bow and it all comes gift wrapped

Give them a show, they're looking in the window
Just strike a pose, everything's artificial
On tippy toes, looks like we're in a pickle
It's okay, everything's fine, I'll just implode a little

It's nothing new (It's nothing new), I've come to hate (I've come to hate)
The sour taste of permanent disregulation
'Cause all I do ('Cause all I do), is make mistakes (Mistakes)
And what I say is open to interpretation
Show you how to make something from nothing
I can help you monetise your pain and your suffering
I'll wear the crown (I'll wear the crown), I'll be the face (Be the face)
Now coronate your new favourite headcase

I'll get back into a normal routine
And I'll give blood from the scrapes on my knees
Because everyone's always looking at me
Now they're staring at me, can you let a guy breathe?

Show you how to make something from nothing
I can help you monetize your pain and your suffering
I'll wear the crown, I'll be the face
Now coronate your new favourite headcase

It's nothing new (It's nothing new), I've come to hate (I've come to hate)
The sour taste of permanent disregulation
'Cause all I do ('Cause all I do), is make mistakes (Mistakes)
And what I say is open to interpretation
Show you how to make something from nothing
(Show you how to make something)
I can help you monetise your pain and your suffering
(I can help your pain and your suffering)
I'll wear the crown (I'll wear the crown), I'll be the face (Be the face)
Now coronate your new favourite headcase
