I woke up in the morning, half my hair was on the pillow.
I just laughed because I’m wired like that.
I really couldn’t care less that I’m slowly becoming hairless;
I got fed up, shaved it all off, and boldly walked out looking like a man.
//Every day I swallow 19 drugs,
Take time to admit that yeah, it sucks
Then get on with my life.
I got raccoon eyes and a Mr. Clean head,
But I can’t complain ‘cause at least I’m not dead.
I may be out for the count but I will never be outdone.//
I’m crying for my mother; I’m swearing from the gutter
My mood swings faster than a palindrome on crack.
The steroids fatten me up, but otherwise I’d throw up.
I’m retaining so much water I should rent myself as an aquarium.
//chorus//
Mouth sores and skin rashes, a phoenix from the ashes;
I can barely lift my pinky finger up and off my bed.
A regenerating body, taking 6 months just to heal.
But with a shining smile I’m ready to take up life as just being me.
//Every day I swallow 19 drugs,
Take time to admit that yeah, it sucks
Then get on with my life.
I got extra-long lashes and baby-soft hair.
Haven’t quite reached the top, but I’m almost there.
I may be out for the count but I will never, never be outdone.
