Ok You talk and talk and you just can't stop But when it comes to mine, it's crock What you say is lackluster Plus it seems you're trying to pull a filibuster Yeah, right, yeah, ok Tell me somethin' new to start with thee Said "See you later, when you coming home?" when you comin' home? It's a gift, it's a curse, it's the telephone Now let's start over with a nice clean slate Please stop stressin' with the hurry-up wait Heard you the first time, that sounds great But back up out my space, ok? (Yeah yeah, right, right) ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Wrapped in pink ribbon, so pretty My name's Mike D from New York City I guess it's all in the mind What I leave behind Thought you'd be smooth like a nice Nutter Butter But I start to cringe, every word that you utter Yes, you said you are a big deal But, money, calm down, for real Got to control my mind Get to slow down, rewind What, is goin' on in my head? Why's the sky gone red? (What is goin' on in my head? Why's the sky gone red?) (What is goin' on in my head?) (What is goin' on in my head? Why's the sky gone red?) (What is goin' on in my head? Why's the sky gone red?) (What is goin' on in my head? Why's the sky gone red?) (What is goin' on in my head? Now, I don't give a fuck who the hell you are Please stop shoutin' in your cellular I never asked you for part of your day So please stop shoutin' in your phone, ok You lie like a plainclothes cop Take a minute, take a look, and take stock Take a minute, get your mind unlocked Get open and I'll throw you the rock What's goin' on in my head? And why has the sky gone all red? Be kind, rewind At least tell me what it is I did Or just say what should I say Hmm, ok (Yeah yeah, right, right) ok Ok Ok Ok Ok
