D#      C#
I sit around and watch
     D#
the tube but nothing is
C# D#              C#
on   I change the channel's
        D#        C#
for an hour or two
D#            C#
  Twiddle my thumbs
           D#
just for a bit
            C#
I'm sick of all the
          D#
same old shit In
     C#
the house with unlocked
 D#                    C#
doors and I'm fucking lazy

Chorus:
A#       G#      D#       A#
Bite my lip and close my eyes
         G#      D#
Take me away to paradise
A#           G#         D#     A#
I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind
                  G#
And I smell like shit

Peel me off this velcro
seat and get me moving
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feeling like a dog in heat
Barred indoors from the summer street
I locked the door to my own cell
and I lost the key

Chorus

D#          C#
I've got no motivation
 D#         C#
Where is my motivation?
D#          C#
No time for motivation
 D#        C#   A#    G# D# A# G# D#
Smoking my inspiration

I sit around and watch the phone,
but no one's calling
Call me pathetic,
call me what you will (We will!)
My mother says to get a job
But she don't like the one she's got
When masturbation's lost its fun,
you're fucking lonely

Chorus:
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind
And loneliness has to suffice
Bite my lip and close my eyes
I'm slipping away to paradise
Some say quit or I'll go blind
But it's just a myth
