Lyrics

I'm looking for an interruption, Do you believe? You looking to dig my dreams Be prepared for anything You come into my little scene Hooray hooray hip hip hooray There's one thing I can guarantee: You won't have to dig, dig too deep Said leave me to lay, but touch me deep, I don't sleep, I dream I'll settle for a cup of coffee, but you know what I really need Are you looking to drive my dreams? You here to run my screens? You come, deliver my demons Hooray hooray hip hip hooray Are you coming to ease my headache? Do you give good head? Am I good in bed? I don't know, I guess so I don't sleep, I dream I'll settle for a cup of coffee, but you know what I really need I'm looking for an interruption, Can you believe? Some medicine for my headache Hooray hooray hip hip hooray I'm pitching for a new direction Pinch me when I wake Don't tell me my dreams are fake You leave me to lay, you touch me deep, I don't sleep, I dream I'll settle for a cup of coffee, but you know what I really need Leave me to lay, but touch me deep, I don't sleep, I dream I'll settle for a cup of coffee, but you know what I really need
