Lyrics
STIR CRAZY
Technicolor clock hanging on the wall
Two dimensional still life watches over us all
God gave us music so that we might pray without words
Sitting in this closet my life's become a blur
I'm Stir Crazy the writings on the wall
I'm Stir Crazy about to lose it all
Toe-head blonde and chocolate brown tickling the ivories
The music makes them laugh they can't be all but three years old
Boom box talks telling tales of glory
I fail to see the point of my life story
I'm Stir Crazy the writings on the wall
I'm Stir Crazy about to lose it all
I'm Stir Crazy running out of time
I'm Stir Crazy I'll surely lose my mind
A little piece of paradise is all I'm asking for
Sipping on an ice cold drink sliding 'cross the dance floor
An island breeze to carry me away from all this stress
And you looking hot at me in your sexy party dress
How can you tell when the fire's burning out?
Can I find the truth in words from a German Opera house?
I'm running out of reason and the photographs don't speak
Is success the pot of gold or is it sanity seek?
I'm Stir Crazy the writings on the wall
I'm Stir Crazy about to lose it all
I'm Stir Crazy running out of time
I'm Stir Crazy I'll surely lose my mind
