I Was A Prisoner in Your Skull

[Instrumental]

[Recording]

Testing... one, two, three

Well... well fuck, haha

I mean, I just don't know what to say

I'm very glad to be here with you tonight

I'll be 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 where or 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

You 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 on the grill...

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. Went outside, got in your car

Key in the ignition

Except for one thing

You had to call me to come show you...
