the pinch one inch
half a head and half dead
no pain no gain
there's a million voices in my brain

it's like a game of hide and seek
and i play every day yeah
i close my eyes and i count to ten
one two three and everybody runs away

i'm in a bad way
it's such a bad way
can't you give a damn on a better day
i can't come out to play
i'm in such a bad bad way

purple leather makes it better
a purple coat or a purple sweater
clothes make the girl i know
but i can't get dressed when i'm this low

i'm like a self made hand grenade
but i can't pull the pin
i set the bait and sit back and wait
and then i try to see if i can reel you in

i'm in a bad way
it's such a bad way
can't you give a damn on a better day
i can't come out to play
i'm in such a bad bad way

go away
don't go away
now go away
yeah

a little peach a little blue
a little water and i'm as good as new
i want to swallow all of you
but i'm biting more than i can chew

it's like a game of hide and seek
and i play every day yeah
i close my eyes and i count to ten
one two three and everybody runs away

i'm in a bad way
su-su-such a bad way
can't you give a damn on a better day
i can't come out to play
i'm in such a bad bad way
