I Lost My Remote Control

i lost my remote control
and at the same time lost a little piece of my soul
i lost my remote control today
i lost my remote control
my rabbit ears will hear no more
i threw everything i owned away
i woke up this afternoon
to spirits in my living room
i had breakfast
with the ghost of myself, yeah...
cracks on all my cement walls
the pictures on the television cover them all
now i stand alone in a world of grey
i don't care if my house burns down
if the whole damn world quit spinnin' around
just don't take my remote control away
i woke up this afternoon
to spirits in my living room
i had breakfast
with the ghost of myself, yeah...
here i stand at heaven's gate
with a TV dinner and a paper plate
lord forgive me for all the shows i've missed
you've always been a friend to me
and i don't mean that sarcastically
i'm grateful for the fact that you exist
i woke up this afternoon
to spirits in my living room
i had breakfast
with the ghost of myself, yeah...

yesterday when i was choppin' wood
i had the urge to hack myself up good
use my limbs for kindling in the fire
instead i got stoned and watched The Wire
season 1 to season 5
it feels wonderful to be alive
and when i reach the end
i'll play it from the top again & unwind
omar little's come back from the grave
come now, creatures - return to your cave
wait until the morning shows its face
the burning sun shall be your saving grace
cuz you won't know the hunt is on
until your kneecaps are gone
give up your money & your drugs
or else you'll catch 1,000 slugs and go down

there's so many things that i
would like to buy for you
dragon rolls & diamond rings
and chocolate fondue
i'd buy you a boat so you
could sail the ocean blue
but you've told me so many times
that all you want from me
is cigarettes & mountain dew
i'd buy you a monkey and
a baby kangaroo
and all the fuzzy creatures in
the san diego zoo
pay your student loans and all
your parking tickets too
but you've told me so many times
that all you want from me
is cigarettes & mountain dew
my love grows for you
with each and every passing day
and with you, i'd love to share my life
cuz you're my #1, you are my love, my champion
and baby i'm your yellow #5
there's so many things that i
would like to buy for you
dragon rolls & diamond rings
and chocolate fondue
i'd buy you a boat so you
could sail the ocean blue
but you've told me so many times
that all you want from me
is cigarettes & mountain dew...

you used to make me happy
what happened to those days?
you used to sit so proudly
above my fireplace
when i'd come home from working
i'd smell like fish & smoke
you'd keep my head from hurting
you'd make me laugh & choke
you used to take me places
inside my living room
you'd show me friendly faces
and fantasies of doom
when i was feeling lonely
we'd sit up all night
you'd paint pictures for me
until the morning light
you were my one & only
now you don't turn me on
i still go to you sometimes
but that old feeling's gone
when i'm feeling lonely
i don't know what to do
i can't get rid of myself
and i can't get rid of you
you used to be my baby
you used to be my girl
i used to let you light up my whole entire world
but i took you for granted
one too many times
i found somebody stronger
to really blow my mind
at first she made me happy
and then she made me pay
i know you tried to warn me
but i did not obey
she took me for my money
she took me for my brain
why did i ever leave you?
i must have been insane
you were my one & only
now you don't turn me on
i still go to you sometimes
but that old feeling's gone
when i'm feeling lonely
i don't know what to do
i can't get rid of myself
and i can't get rid of you

this year i'm gonna have a
blue halloween
(x2)
all my friends are going to
the couples' costume ball
but i'm just down here painting
pentagrams upon my wall
this year i'm gonna have a
blue halloween
(x2)
my girl left me lonely and my
ghosts have gone to play
so i'll just sit inside my room
til my flesh rots away
this year i'm gonna have a
blue halloween
(x2)
i don't want no candy
i don't want no festive gear
i'll just be hangin' round in the graveyard
drinkin' bleach and everclear
this year i'm gonna have a
blue halloween
(x2)

new level unlocked, new level unlocked
i've never been here before
new level unlocked, new level unlocked
i'm standing outside your door
i'm lookin' at you, i'm lookin' at you
i'm lookin' at everything
new level unlocked, new level unlocked
i finally found my queen
and i...
i love you most of all
new planet i've found
new stars, new ground
you came in & blew my mind
some beautiful dream that's never been seen
i find that it makes me shine
new level unlocked, new level unlocked
i've never been here before
another day comes, another day goes
i'm loving you more and more
and i...
i love you most of all
