[Spoken Intro]
Got me going, one, two, three, four, one two
[Intro]
Got me going woo-ooh
Yeah
Woo-ooh-ooh
Ooh yeah
[Verse 1]
Pain ricocheting in my brain like exploding stones
Thoughts running 'round in my cranium like pinball machine-o-mania
Dreaming of a time when everything rhymed and I was cool, calm, and collected
And all of my heroes dropped by just to hear me play
[Refrain]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, yeah
Ooh-ooh
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Thoughts become pictures become movies in my mind
Welcome to the KV horror drive-in movie marathon
But I'm just kidding and I'm just playing
And this is just the way that I'm making a living
Every day, in my mind and in real life too
[Refrain]
Going woo-ooh
Singing yеah-eah
Going woo-ooh
Singing yeah-eah
Going woo-ooh
Singing yеah-eah
Going woo-ooh-ooh
Singing yeah
[Interlude]
Taking off now
Moog making noise now
Pain ricocheting in my brain like exploding sto-oh-oh-oh-woah-oh-woh-wones
Guitar's feeding back now

Baby red maples growing in the hedges (oh whoo-ooh, singing yeah-ah)
Sometimes the silver linings come in brown and red (oh whoo-ooh)
So to see with your eyes you gotta turn your head to the light
To gotta see with your eyes to look at what's outta sight
Outta sight
[Refrain]
Oh-oh
Going yeah
Oh-oh
Sight
Whoo-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh
Pain ricocheting in my brain like exploding stoh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-woah-ones
[Outro]
Pain ricocheting in my brain like exploding stoh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-woah-ones

‘Pain ricocheting in my brain like exploding stones.’ Some people attribute that line to migraines, and I do get migraines, so that’s fine.
