Rolling on a sweepstakes sixty-five
Loaded with the cheapskates barely alive
I said yeah, I come undone
Rolling out the jimmy, you can see the cracks
Taps me on the shoulder, had a heart attack

I said yeah, I come undone
And when you push me, yeah you push me
Yeah you push me too far
I sit and then I cry upon the strings of my guitar
And everybody tells me that it's shalalalala
Oh, yeah!

Stop me on the avenue, cuffs on my wrists
Told me I was driving like a ballroom blitz
I said yeah, I'm so high and strung
Every time you leave me it comes to this
Mix another medicine, mad scientist

I said yeah, I'm so high and strung
And when you push me, yeah you push me
Yeah you push me too far
I sit and then I cry upon the strings of my guitar
And everybody tells me that it's shalalalala
Oh, yeah!

Why does it always have to come to this?

Late night, all night, miss your kiss
I said yeah, I'm so high and strung
Why does it always have to come to this?
Late night, all night, miss your kiss

I said yeah, I'm so high and strung
And when you push me, yeah you push me
Yeah you push me too far
I sit and then I cry upon the strings of my guitar
And everybody tells me that it's shalalalala
Oh, yeah!
