lyrics

Let me tell you something
Bout a boy who's tired of trying
Yeah he's kicking and he's screaming
If he likes you he'll be something
But his walls are being built
Atop of crocodile hill
Yeah he will keep an eye out for you
And be able to see through you

The walls were broken before
Then they take a little time to restore
And although he's turned his back on you
There's a secret way to sneak in through

He was walking through the city
And his headache wasn't leaving
So he cut open his stomach
And he made a soup bowl from it
Then he licked the bowl clean
And turned the slightest shade of green
Oh no, he couldn't find his good shoes
But felt ready for his interview

He kicked down the office door
And he slid across the wooden floor
Laid the biggest kiss on the woman's red lips
Spun in circles til he puked in the drawer
More mistakes
Oh the basketcase
Oh no, a little crystal hitting the mark just in Jaime's face
The disgraced
Oh can't catch a break
Oh no, it's even more important to find a little breathing space

He couldn't handle all the pressure
So he opened even wider
All his teeth were feeling tired
Out they went with rusty pliars
Then he laid there in the basement
With his body draped in wet cement
He signed his name with full consent
Still thinking 'bout the main event

A crate showed up at the door
With a fragile stamp in red
The card read let your garden grow
Oh how I'll look beneath the falling snow
More mistakes
Oh the basketcase
Oh no, a little crystal hitting the mark just in Jaime's face
The disgraced
Oh can't catch a break
Oh no, it's even more important to find a little breathing space

More mistakes
Oh the basketcase
Oh no, a little crystal hitting the mark just in Jaime's face
The disgraced
Oh can't catch a break
Oh no, it's even more important to find a little breathing space
