  • I get back from touring
    Suddenly it doesn't seem like much fun to be off my face
    At a quarter to eleven am

    You're prangin' out
    I see through you
    I feel awful
    This voice's talkin' to me
    This ain't funny
    ??? my house for four fucking weeks
    I see through you
    I'm about to do something stupid

    I dare say why my manager got lary and smacked me
    These headaches are gettin' unbearably nasty
    Staring at the crackwork, lookin' scary with me brandy
    The rock 'n roll cliche walked in and then smacked me
    Carelessly rackin' out prangs just to handle the fear
    I do a line but then panic and feel a bit prang'd
    So I glug Marlon from the bottle to ease of the panic
    Then when it starts wearing off, I just feel a bit sad
    Snort more tour support, and then have a drink
    The bruise on the side of my head is madly banging
    The only reason I started this was the deal me a laughin'
    The only reason I started this was the deal me a laughin'

    You're prangin' out
    I see through you
    These voices talkin' to me
    This ain't funny
    I see through you
    I'm about to do something stupid

    The girl in my bed is kinda distant right now,
    I know shes thinkin' shes a bit frightened somehow,
    I don't think she realized what I'd invited her back to my house
    I don't want anyone to see me like this right now
    I sorts thoughts rollin' back in my eyes
    I've been a poor sports thoughts dance in my mind
    A banging headache dancin' prang'd by their side
    Dancin' with the pictures from the past of my life
    I don't remember any of what I just thought at all
    The conclusion prior to when I forgot it all
    Panicing a bit, gettin' frightened 'n fuck all
    So nursing my bruise I drink right from the bottle
    I don't want anyone I know to see my like this
    My fibs and single became lies and lists
    She's gonna sell-tell no doubt fuck it
    I'm not going to start drinkin', no, I can't for now

    You're prangin' out
    I see through you
    These voices talkin' to me
    This ain't funny
    I see through you
    I'm about to do something stupid

    My laptop must have slipped down and gone to sleep
    Before the prangers pain must've dawned on me
    Stupid idiot!
    Around the time I was skethchin' tryin' to con some sleep
    And the new day on me was nearly dawning in here
    I must have flaked while I puttied
    Way to loads more
    'Cuz I'd staked on bookings
    Waited to tell the score
    Why do I break my rules not to wager any more
    I flaked on the bookings and majorly totaled on the score
    I've got a simple problem
    But my minds spinning out
    I remembered the website between the wine and the stout
    The rush of fear made me forget how fucked I'd been
    This time I'm drying my eyes and a fuckin' nose bleed
    Turnin' the phone off when my promo bloke phones me
    Evaded for it got nasty when my manager when he only beat me
    I threw his wallet out the window as it had grown heated
    He said 'sort your life out' as he punched me onto my feet

    You're prangin' out
    I see through you
    These voices talkin' to me
    This ain't funny
    I see through you
    I'm about to do something stupid

    You're prangin' out
    I see through you
    These voices talkin' to me
    This ain't funny
    I see through you
    I'm about to do something stupid

    Right now logic states I need to be not contemplating suicide
    'Cause rational thought it would seem that I need not to be doing stuff
    That makes death seem like an easier option
    I need a totally Trojan plan right now
    I see through you Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
