There was Rachel from South Carolina. We'd play house. She'd never let me be the husband, but she'd let me be the dog. Then there was Michelle from Cedar Lake. She was a preacher's kid. There was no chance for us just like a Buddhist Lazarus. Then there was Erin. Her momma wouldn't let her be with me because I played Pokemon and watched too much TV. Then there was Cynthia. She was from Argentina. She was in love with Ramon, but we'd talk on the phone. Then there was Megan from America. She was in love with Chase, Spencer, Derek, David and Andy, but never with me. Then there was drugs. Sweet drugs. So many drugs. So many drugs. That's when I knew I could never be the husband. I can only be the dog. I can only be the dog. Then there was Bailey from Frankenmuth with the big ol' boobies and the parents who really took to me. But it wasn't meant to be. Then there was Mary with the crooked teeth. Four days til she left for Nanjing. 她 不 是 你 的 朋 友 Then there was Jessi with the husband in Louisiana. She hit me in the face with a glass fifth and keys in her damn fist. I said, "Fuck this." That's when I knew I could never be the husband. I can only be the dog. I can only be the dog. Then there was music. There was music. Sweet sweet music. Music. Then there was Bodhi. Sweet sweet Bodhi. Music and Bodhi. Music and Bodhi. That's when I knew I don't wanna be the husband. I just wanna be the dog. I just wanna be the dog. (Dog sounds)

Well, I say what I mean but I don't mean to. I'm the only one to say it and so are you. Well, I'll count to eleven and I'll do it by twos. I will play a game of losing and I'll win til I lose. I got a good head on my shoulders but it don't belong to me. I got my feet on the ground but I'm living out at sea. I got love for you but you can never catch me. I put a square dance on a round pole. Made me feel pretty groovy. But when I see the face of my Chreesus Jist. I know he'll provide me with reans and bice. The Goly Host enters my soul and it feels nitty price. His words enter my head and I don't twink thice. That's when I say, "Spood Goonerism. You got to keep, keep the rhythm." That's why I say Spood Goonerism. You got to keep, keep the rhythm. I know. I know where I will be. I'm goin' up to the heavens with my baby. Forget about purgatory. I think heaven for me is just about mandatory. That's where I see the face of my Krare Hishna. Make me feel brand new. Krare Hishna. Krare Krare Hishna. If I can do it, so can you. That's why I say Spood Goonerism. You got to keep, keep, keep the rhythm. That's why I say Spood Goonerism. You got to keep, keep, keep, keep, keep the rhythm. I said, "How am I not myself?" I said, "How am I not myself?" I said, "How am I not myself? How am I not myself?" I said, "How am I not myself? How am I not myself?" But when I see the face of my Bodhi. I know I know her and I know she know me. She found me in the back seat. But she loves me and she makes me happy.

(INTRO) Cory: "Is that in my head? I think it's in my head." Nathan: "Which part? Which part's in your head?" I feel like something coming on inside, taking me for a ride, for a ride. Already happened so you let it go. Already happened so you let it go. You and me and LSD. You and me. You and me. You and me and mescaline. You and me. You and me. I feel like coming over shoulders. I feel like Ima get older. Electronics in my eye. My ears'll make me high. Trying to feel, feel. Trying to feel. Trying. Trying. So. I said, "You and me and LSD. You and me. You and me. You and me and mescaline. You and me and Aldous Huxley." I know who's looking at me. I feel like child of Satan. I'm not trying to scare your children. I'm just here. I'm just here. I'm a nice guy if you really get to know me. I said, "I'm not trying to scare." I feel like somebody, somebody, somebody somewhere, somewhere, somewhere. I got something to tell you, something to tell. I got somebody to tell. You and me and LSD. You and me. You and me. You and me and mescaline. You and me and Tommy Dean.

So excited in my head. I know I'm gonna wind up dead. I'm gonna wind up dead. All this secco, so you know I know you know I know I should be drinking coffee instead. I know something about SUSY. I know how long it go. If I been, If I been wrong then tell me how it's a code to Mexico. I know I said, "I said, 'So so what you talking about?'" Already know. I said, "Why you trying to Soul?" I said, "No idea." I said, "I know why." I said. "I got a little bit of friendship. It's gonna hurt you in the back of your hip." I said, "My poppy racing all around the past." You said, "I don't know much about your momma or the place she stay in." I got the Adderall Blues. I got the Adderall Blues. Got the prescription issued, making my tooth hurt me down to my toes. I know. (X6) Hurt me down to the root. Just when you think that it's done it starts over again. I said, "I know (X6) I ain't got any friends." I'm from Michigan. I said, "I'm seeing the world in a whole brand-new way." I said, "I'm seeing the world." My eye's got the new lens. Now this next one's just for fun: Well, I knew me a woman. Now I knew me a girl. I tell you something, Now that girl, that girl was my whole world. My whole world. Well now I loved me that woman more, more than chocolate vanilla swirl. That's why i got the one, two, three, four. The one, two, three, four. Got the one, two, three, four. The one, two, three, four and blues. The Adderall Blues. I got the Adderall Blues. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Blues. All because of you.
