Don't take away my good time drinking problem
Don't mind my demons when they speak to you
One million marching men ain't gonna stop 'em
I'm only doing everything you told me to

I just saw my life flash by my eyes and none of it was good
I stole some money and told some lies and brought down most of Hollywood
I thought I heard that rumor too

What's he doing with a broken kid like you
It's just a phase I'm going through

I get a little crazy crazy in the sunshine
And I get violent when I hear the moon
Cause people like you live to kill my good time
I hope you find what you're after and soon
Cause this here ship is turning back around and coming back again
I'm gonna take a bite out of your town
And then we'll all pretend the burning bush of Israel still blazes

And you know me
I go through phases
I go through phases
I go through phases
I'm going through a phase
And this time it's not temporary
My many moods will vary
Until the end of days
Until the end of days

The next time you see me you will not see me
I'm gonna have some more tricks way up my sleeve
Children wishing they grow up to be me
Cause the children are the future I believe

You're in my bed, I slam the door
And I'll shut you out, I show you what my dirty mind is for
And leave you with no doubt
This life I live constantly amazes
It's what I do

I go through phases
I go through phases
I go through phases
I'm going through a phase

And inside my little mystery box is another mystery box
And that's where my lover stays
