The girl I talked to shes sort of neurotic yeah
Her crazy ex-boyfriend is really psychotic uh-huh

Who would love a woman turn around and abuse her ohh

In any situation lady lucks on his side word
Emotions run free, nothing he will hide
Why I remember one sunny day yeah
Took my cousin to the park so we can play yeah, park
On the way, a couple resembled
The one I just described, everything assembled
Another young man walked in their direction yeah
Bumped him a bit, excused his imperfection mmm hmm
But the man with the lady grabbed the other by the neck umm hmm
Demanded an apology and also respect uh-huh uh-huh
The young man aggravated grabbed him back and smacked him
The girl just laughed and laughed and laughed at him oh man!
He felt ashamed for what he had done
It looked like a fool to everyone OH!
These are three stories from the naked city yeah
Reality, is sometimes a ditty yeah uh huh
Like Grodzilla from The Twilight Zone
Earth to your brain – is anyone home? What you talkin bout?
I see ya there, tryin to make amends
Try to make some friends, but now my story ends Oh man!
On the note, that I just wrote
Stay afloat on the reality boat oh
Slow down and think and take it cool
And try to avoid the description of a…
