"I Was A Prisoner In Your Skull" lyrics - SWANS
Testing, one, two, three
Well, well fuck, huh, I mean, I just don't know what to say
I'm very glad to be here with you tonight, able to talk to you about some things that I know a great deal about
Everyone knows that you are fucked up
And everyone knows that I am fucked up
But, does everyone know that you are more fucked up than me?
Well, I know that and you know that
But our purpose is to tell everyone that
Take for instance, the time you went to the bathroom to take a shower
You had soap, you had a towel, shampoo, washcloth, a brush, everything was set
But you had to call me to come turn on the water for you
You didn't know wh- how
That is one instance of how fucked up you are
A second instance of how fucked up you are
You was going to cook you some breakfast
Well you went in there, and you put some toast in the toaster
Put a skillet on the stove, some grease in it and got you some eggs out, some bacon
Poured you some orange juice and made you some coffee
Got some jelly and some butter
Fried eggs, salt, pepper, got the bacon all ready
Everything was fine except for one thing
You had to call me in there to show you how to use a fork
Now a third instance, the way you're fucked up
You got dressed, ready to go to school
Everything was fine
Got outside, got in your car, key in the ignition
Except for one thing
You had to call me to come show you
