[Verse 1]
I live in a box
I live on a one-way street
But I don't mind
'Cause I live alone
Nobody has to share my home
And if I could choose
I might pick a bigger box
[Chorus 1]
But that's all I'd change
Until I get a credit card
My home on the range
Is underneath my black hat
Until I wake up
[Post-Chorus]
I will not be watching you
So you should not be watching me, no
[Bridge 1]
I got what I need
I got a car that doesn't work, I got blood to bleed
I got a bar of soap, and I got shampoo, too
So I look like me but I smell like you
I won the Nobel Prize, I made a thinner dime
You know I'll get my act together when I find the time
But right now I think that living is a place to lie down
See, I rule the dirt, so I'm the king of this town
[Verse 2]
I live in the dark
I live in the silence
And I can say
That I see and hear
Much more than the average man
And if I could choose
I might pick a darker void
[Chorus 2]
But that's all I'd change
Until I get a bigger club
My home on the range
Is somewhere in the closet
Until I wake up
[Post-Chorus]
I will not be watching you
So you should not be watching me, no
[Bridge 2]
Here's what we've got
Tell me what I am, I'll tell you what I am not
You tell me what I'm not, I'll tell you what I am
We'll both scratch our heads like we give a damn
Tell me, who comes out ahead when all this fun is through?
Please tell me who comes out ahead
Was it me or you, was it me or you?
Probably you
[Verse 3]
I live in my skull
I'm under my eyelids
You can't touch me
'Cause I'm fast asleep
You wouldn't like the friends I keep
And if I could choose
I might pick a larger head
[Chorus 3]
But that's all I'd change
Until I get a safe way out
My home on the range
Is right behind my eyeballs
And don't you dare wake me up
