It Doesn't Work Anymore Lyrics

I know everyone's not out to get me, but then again everyone could be. I'm on guard nearly all of the time, but then again maybe I should be. I wish that someone understood me. There was a time I could walk down the street without looking over my shoulder. But I learned soon that when my life gets wet, it only takes it minutes to moulder. I'm not that much older. And I used to dream at night without waking up full of dread and sweating. I used to smoke these cigarettes to get me high. It doesn't work anymore! I had a lump on the top of my foot and I went to the doc for some answers. Son, what you're footing is a plantar's wart. It's your brain that is fighting a cancer. At least you can still be a dancer! I had a laugh at the mind that I lost, 'cause I never used it that much to start with. In a city where you don't know the roads, your car isn't that much to part with. I am thoughtless, not heartless! Picked up my parts with a butterfly net, and they threw them all in a basket. I had a question but they locked up the lid before I ever had a chance to ask it. It would have been fantastic... Piece by piece I'm starting to lose it before I gave myself a fair chance to use it. Old before his time... I used to do my puzzles starting with the sky- it doesn't work anymore! I'm gonna beat my head against a wall until it doesn't hurt anymore! I'm gonna shout these tenets I believe until I'm not sure anymore!
