Stuck On You Lyrics
Failure
Lyrics
I heard you driving in my car
Then in a frozen bar
I claimed I didn't care for you.
But your verse got trapped inside my head
Over and over again
You played yourself to death in me.
I thought I'd drop you easily
But that was not to be
You burrowed like a summer tick.
So you invade my sleep
And confuse my dreams
Turn my nights to sleepless itch.
Stuck on you, til' the end of time
I'm too tired to fight your rhyme
Stuck on you, til' the end of time
You've got me paralyzed.
Holding on the telephone
I hear your midrange moan
You're everywhere inside my room.
Even when I'm all alone
I hear your mellow drone
You're everywhere inside of me.
Stuck on you, til' the end of time
I'm too tired to fight your rhyme
Stuck on you, til' the end of time
You've got me paralyzed.
You've got me trapped
I can't escape
Your incessant whine
When you beam it out
All across the sky
No I can't escape
Your insipid rhyme
When you shoot it deep
Straight into my mind.
