I'm Introverted Now. I'm Busy

from I Can Smell The Asparagus by the stragglers

lyrics

A jean jacket is my new style
I must admit it took awhile
Until a flashback came across clearly

A rubber room is for the best
With two arms tied around my chest
Confinement used to scare the life from me

Then you were quick to submit your opinion
You didn't even try to see if I was just bored
What if my past comes back to haunt me?
I'm not afraid of ghosts

I've already gone there
I had to do it again
So if you've got that bug that makes you want to run off
It's fine just tell me when
I've seen them a few times
More than I'd like to admit
I'd rather stay at home and catch up on my shows
I'm always tired crawling out of this pit

A motorbike is my new ride
The helmet is a way to hide
My face, my age, the bags under my eyes

Why the death wish and wrecklessness
I'm going fast riding like a squid
It happens that it helps the time fly by

Then you were quick to give a meaningless opinion
I thought that it was obvious that I was just bored
What if I snap and lose all compassion?
I'm just afraid it's close

I've already gone there
I had to do it again
So if you've got that bug that makes you want to run off
The keys are where they've always been
I've seen them a few times
More than I'd like to admit
I'd rather stay at home and play games on my phone
One day I'm gonna up and just quit

Oh hey hey
Everybody's moved away
Now, nothing's gonna be the same way
Honestly, you gotta tell me why you ever did stay
Here, everybody's moved away man
Nothing's gonna be the same damn
Honestly, you gotta tell me why you ever did stay

Hey, everybody's moved away
Now, nothing's gonna be the same way
Honestly, you gotta tell me why you ever did stay
Here, everybody's moved away man
Nothing's gonna be the same damn
Honestly, you gotta tell me why you ever did stay

Hey, everybody's moved away
Now, nothing's gonna be the same way
Honestly, you gotta tell me why you ever did stay
Here, everybody's moved away man
Nothing's gonna be the same damn
Honestly, you gotta tell me why you ever did stay

Hey, everybody's moved away
Yeah nothing's gonna be the same
Honestly, you gotta tell me why you ever did stay
Here, everybody's moved away man
Nothing's gonna be the same damn
Honestly, you gotta tell me why you ever did stay
