[Intro: Ben Stevens, Kamau Burton & Christian Rose]
Ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
[Verse 1: Kamau Burton]
I float by like I'm stuck on a cloud
Yah, way back in my memory now
Like gimme a sign, lil white girl, she a Gemini ride
Cutie-pie centerfold tell me no lie
Mama so proud, she look in my eyes
Like, where did the kid with ball cap go?
Have you seen my son?
He about ye' high, but he look so low
Oh my God, who is y'all? I skipped some pages
Took one trip, feel like I been gone for ages
Tardigrade, slow to learn, but I adapt to changes
I'm alive, see, I smile, I cry, I know what pain is
[Chorus: Ben Stevens]
Lend me a straightjacket and tell me it'll be alright
I can be your straight-faced crybaby all through the night
Lend me a straightjacket, I wanna get out alive
Strap me in and hold me tight (Oh-oh)
[Verse 2: Ben Stevens, Christian Rose, Ben Stevens & Kamau Burton]
Tippy, tiptoe around these motives (Outta my light)
Piggy bank poppin' these emotions (Never tell lies)
No recess from regrets, so obsessed
'Cause I'm just a little jealous (Yeah, yeah)
Flesh and fate at odds with each other
Souls catch colds so we blame one another
Often self-defeated, somehow stay conceited
Say you love me, don't believe it, I
Brilliant guy, brilliant eye for wastin' a life
Talented, avarice all on my skin, flash 'em a grin
Maybe they'll take me in, extraterrestrian
Feelin' the chills again, still on fire though
Super novio, who's this Mario?
Girl, he's too close to you
[Chorus: Ben Stevens]
Lend me a straightjacket and tell me it'll be alright (No, no)
I can be your straight-faced crybaby all through the night (Ah-ah)
Lend me a straightjacket, I wanna get out alive (Hm-hm)
Strap me in and hold me tight (Hold you tight, yeah)
[Verse 3: Christian Rose]
I talk to myself a lot
Put my thoughts on the shelf a lot
Hold out hope that I'll never die
And I cry out for help a lot
In a minute, I'll be old
In a minute, I'll be dust
Ya, sentimental health, I'm a crazy fuck
Need a couple million dollars
N***a, pay me thus
I could spend it on a naked Aquarius, yuh
I'ma broke genius and my mind is quite erratic
Home alone soldier, toker burn it into ashes
XN can send a n***a back to practice
Keep the drugs hidden
Maybe underneath my mattress
[Chorus: Ben Stevens]
Lend me a straightjacket and tell me it'll be alright (Tell me it'll be alright)
I can be your straight-faced crybaby all through the night (No, no)
Lend me a straightjacket, I wanna get out alive (I wanna get out alive)
Strap me in and hold me tight (No, no, no, no, no)
[Outro: Ben Stevens, Kamau Burton & Christian Rose]
Ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
