It was 8:15
When I pulled into the 7 Eleven
I bought a 12 ounce coffee
And I threw down a 357.
I guess I was thinking I would never be found
Next thing I knew I was spread-eagle
Down on the ground.
I just fell into a manic depression
And I really want to spend it with you.
I got pretty paper shoes
And I'm weaving you a basket for Christmas
Three hots and a cot
And a cellmate who keeps calling me missus.
But I like to think I'm the king of the couch
And I like my shrink
'Cause he always brings me smoke in a pouch.
I just fell into a manic depression
And I really want to spend it with you.
We don't have any inhibitions
We're not consumed by ambition
We've got no mission control.
They say Dr. Freud might call me an a**l retentive
But my PO says I'm delinquent and I got no incentive.
Rehab is a thing of the past
I step into the cab and say "Hey buddy, step on the gas".
Just fell into a manic depression
And I really want to spend it with you.
Okay ladies, it's time for your medication.
