Let's meet Jeffery (Jeffery)

Shoots dope lefty

Yellin', "You can't catch me"

Drove way out to the sea in a jet ski



Oh, my Gertrude, I don't wanna hurt you

Found her on the shore in her brand new church shoes

Covered in burns, face all purple



The world has a sickness (sickness)

It's hidden in the gimmicks

Beams through the TVs and the satellite dishes

Teach a man to fish and he'll catch two fishes

Start his own business, tax-free - it's religious



Bats in the belfry (hoo-hah)

Rotten on the vine (ha-ha, ha, ha)

Can't keep my eyes closed (hoo-hah)

Sunny all the time (ha-ha)

Put your hands where I can see 'em, boy

Keep 'em up high

This place (place) has gone (gone) crazy



Gooey, gooey gumdrops (gumdrops), a whole bunch of gunshots

Two through the lunch box, one made his lungs pop

Running through the E.R., why won't the blood clot?

Crying to some cop, looking through the mugshots



Apparently rational, something isn't natural

A couple Jack and Cokes got me weavin' through the traffic cones

Be cool, Daddy-o, laughing at the last to know

Sometimes to free a mind, you've got to crack a skull (skull)



Bats in the belfry (hoo-hah)

Rotten on the vine (ha-ha, ha, ha)

Can't keep my eyes closed (hoo-hah)

Sunny all the time (ha-ha)

Put your hands where I can see 'em, boy

Keep 'em up high

This place (place) has gone (gone) crazy



The pitter and patter of climbing the ladder

Grow closer and closer and faster and faster

The fakes and the actors, the preachers and pastors

Impending disaster grows faster and faster (faster)



The chitter, the chatter, the crying, the laughter

Grow slower and slower and sadder and sadder

The fakes and the actors, impending disaster

Goes faster and faster and faster and faster (faster)



The pitter and patter goes faster and faster

The chit and the chatter goes faster and faster

Climbing the ladder, faster and faster

Impending disaster goes faster
