Derrek Estrella - Talkintalkin Amphetamine Blues lyrics

This song’s called Talkin talkin talkin amphetamine blues! One day i was feeling stuck I felt my well had all dried up So i went to the local shrink And paid her fifty bucks to think A full day’s wage She said, “son, i’m just a pharmacist But i’ll take the cash if you insist And i’ll stick something in your wrist” I galloped home, feeling odd So up i climbed a lightning rod I shook and slipped, then i looked down In just one blink i hit the ground Five storeys- face first- true story I was very dead it seems I floated down the new york city sewer streams But it was all just a bad dream! Late october, out of school I was feeling like a ghoul So i went trick-or-treatin’ for halloween And in my bag, was anothеr bag- Inside that bag was a canvas bag- Which held a polyestеr bag filled with amphetamines I’m sure you’ve heard about it I ate them like tic tacs I felt my spine crack Then i wrote this song on the way back Way back home that is I hadn’t slept- five days straight My eyes were making figure eights I told my friend, “i’m feeling low” She laughed and said, “oh, don’t you know? You were born awful” That sure explained a lot Sure was food for thought Put my stomach in a knot Mirror, mirror, looking tall Who’s the greatest of them all The man in the mirror reached around And gave my head a mighty pound Nearly cracked my skull, that freak So i started to panic Thought i was going manic My doctor said, “you’re alright son, you’re only asthmatic!” Well with that good news, i grabbed my hat And ran back home in seconds flat I took a pill- maybe four I love the marine corps! So i enlisted I said “yessir i’ll fight for all of us” They screamed, “hey now, what’s all this commie fuss?” So then they knocked me out, fixed my tie, and threw me in the city bus I woke on the bus and to my glee I met people just like me So i sat with a groovy liberal And offered him some adderall He nearly punched me He frowned like a pug Almost dropped his coffee mug Then said, “i thought we won the war on drugs” I asked the driver to drop me there Right in the middle of nowhere I’m sick and tired of being put down I’ll pop a pill and go underground Here i go, yipee Went into the woods, i met a bear I won at blackjack fair and square Then he clawed me up and sold my hair So i guess the moral of the song Is don’t be seekin’ to belong For every time you think you’re right Just keep it hid and let them fight That’s how you win No use being sad In a world gone mad I’m sure glad i’m nothing like that
