"My Descent Into Madness" lyrics - EELS

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Springfield's looking pretty dusty today
I see their dreams coming undone
The view from inside ward 9 affords this much
A town teeming with the unloved

Close the window and lock it so it's good and tight

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la

Turning eighteen and trying not to look too lost
Have a not-so-nice day
The jacket makes me straight so I can just sit back and bake
You know I think I'm gonna stay

Talking very loud but no one hears a word I say

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la

Come visit me tonight at eight o'clock and then you'll see
How I am not the crazy one

(Voices tell me I'm the shit)

Twenty days go by and every day looks the same

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la

(I'm the shit)
