Lyrics My Brain Is Working Overtime - Rivers Cuomo

My Brain Is Working Overtime

My brain is working overtime
I need something to ease my mind
And as my thoughts go manic
I really start to panic
There’s no place to hide behind
I freak and then hallucinate
I go at lights when I should wait
My parents think I’m lazy
But damn I’m going crazy
I can’t help my mental state
Pick it up y’all, pick it up
Ooh lala (he's trippin')
La dee dah (mental slippin')
Take these brains out of my way
I work into a frenzied clip
I bite the corners of my lip
I’m losin' my appetite
My pants don’t even fit right
Take away the month-old dip
My hair could start a bowl cut fad
The state of my attire is sad
And if I was run over
By a brand new Range Rover
Hey, I’d actually be glad
Pick it up y’all, pick it up
Ooh lala (he's trippin')
La dee dah (mental slippin')
Take these brains out of my way
Do you really want me down?
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me down?
'Cause I’m waiting to see
My brain is working overtime
I need something to ease my mind
And as my thoughts go manic
I really start to panic
There’s no place to hide behind
Pick it up y’all, pick it up
Ooh lala (he's trippin')
La dee dah (mental slippin')
Take these brains out of my way
