The Creeps Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I get like this, I give myself the creeps
Like a newborn cub with little shaky feet
Stumbling around, trying to find some ground
What a joke, always thrashing around
'Til I figure it out and then I choke
[Chorus]
I cannot let my feelings to keep hijacking my brain
(They've got a gun against my head)
I'm gonna think my way around this wall I cannot change
(They've got a gun against my head)
I cannot let my feelings to keep hijacking my brain
(They've got a gun against my head)
I'm gonna think my way around this wall I cannot change
(They've got a gun against my head)
[Post-Chorus]
In my head, in my head
In my head, in my head
[Verse 2]
I was so upset I saw them selling me out
Right there on Los Feliz Boulevard
They were selling me cheap out there on the street
Poster-sized, large as life
There were tears in my eyes and so I drove on by
[Chorus]
I cannot let my feelings to keep hijacking my brain (My brain)
(They've got a gun against my head)
I'm gonna think my way around this wall I cannot change (I cannot change)
(They've got a gun against my head)
I cannot let my feelings to keep hijacking my brain (My brain)
(They've got a gun against my head)
I'm gonna think my way around this wall I cannot change (I cannot change)
(They've got a gun against my head)
[Bridge]
I gotta bend or we will fall
My reality's a metaphor
Success is big and failure small
And I'm one inch shy of feeling tall
[Verse 3]
So I drove on home, my tail between my legs, hmm
I'm deadbeat tired and a bit of a mess, hmm
Feeling all refreshed and brimming with hope
All my intentions are good and then I choke
[Chorus]
I cannot let my feelings to keep hijacking my brain (My brain)
(They've got a gun against my head)
I'm gonna think my way around this wall I cannot change (I cannot change)
(They've got a gun against my head)
I cannot let my feelings to keep hijacking my brain (My brain)
(They've got a gun against my head)
I'm gonna think my way around this wall I cannot change (I cannot change)
(They've got a gun against my head)
[Post-Chorus]
In my head, in my head
In my head, in my head
[Outro]
I give myself the creeps
I give myself the creeps

What did Garbage say about "The Creeps"?
Oh, that was such a horrible moment. You know, I’ve had these lyrics in my life now for 12 years. And I keep trying to inject them into an idea and it’s never really worked because they’re really precious to me and they speak of this moment in my life when I finally got dropped by Interscope Records...
What else have the artists said about the song?
These lyrics tell a tale of great change in my mind. I had told myself that at the grand old age of 40, I was over the hill and I would never, ever be an artist again. I got paralyzed and depressed. I was driving along Los Feliz Boulevard, having been dropped by Interscope Records, and I saw a garag...
