There’s freaks all around me
They’re following me everywhere I go
They’re walking with me when I go to school
And they don’t play by no one else’s rules
And oh my
I think they went too far this time
But I aint got the power
Even though I try
I’m seeing all the signs now
But really I just want to sleep
And the freaks don’t have no legs
So I can’t run them out of my head
And that’s why
I’ve been waking up so tired
I’d like to slip off the deep end for awhile
And soak up the bottom
And watch the clouds go by
Maybe we weren’t meant to
Fly like all the stars do
Haven’t had the nerve to kiss the sky
You know I really love you
But baby freaks weren’t meant to fly
Though I doubt it ‘cause I’ve seen them do it so many times
There’s freaks all inside me
They’re crawling on the inside of my brain
They’re working on me when I go to sleep
And giving me the strangest dreams
And that’s why
I think they went too far this time
But I can’t take them off of my mind
Even though I try
Maybe we weren’t meant to
Fly like all the stars do
Haven’t had the nerve to kiss the sky
You know I really love you
But baby freaks weren’t meant to fly
Though I doubt it ‘cause I’ve seen them do it so many times
