Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, too young to drink and too smart to think
Attaches on his head with the missing link
He's skinny as a snake and fast as a mink
But he ain't for sale unless you add the kitchen sink, well
[Verse 2]
Look out, here he comes again
(Look out) They say he's dead, he's my three best friends
(Look out) He's so honest that the dishonest dread
Meeting the kid with the replaceable head
Yeah
[Verse 3]
When you live on a planet the size of a town
You can't get your kicks by getting around, yeah
Fun's hard to find on such familiar ground
So you invent it, the mental, it's fresher than found, well
[Verse 4]
Look out, here he comes again
(Look out) They say he's done, he's my three best friends
(Look out) He's so honest that the dishonest dread
Meeting the kid with the replaceable head
Oh
[Verse 5]
Beat himself up till he was shook and confused
Dead tired and throbbing, half crazy and bruised
So he'd be too worn out to keep being himself
Now he can pick 'em at will from the heads on his shelf, well
[Verse 6]
Look out, here he comes again
(Look out) They say he's done, he's my three best friends
(Look out) He's so honest that the dishonest dread
Meeting the kid with the replaceable head
