What Am I On

You kiss my lips

I’m seeing gray

Make my heart race

I have to stay

I’m paralyzed

And I’m on the floor

Don’t go away

Cuz I want more


You don’t want love

But you have a heart

You cut it off

Before it starts

You can’t say no

Cuz I will say yes

I’ll stick around

Cuz you’re the best


What am I on (what am I on)

What am I on on on (on on)

What am I on (what am I on)

Why do you do what you do

What am I on (what am I on)

What am I on on on (on on)

What am I on (what am I on)

Why do you do what you do


Is this good-bye

Or is this just fun

I do not know

But I might be done

You had my trust

And I had your lust

The trust is gone

But I miss your touch


I’m lost in time

You stop the clocks

And you show me

Your broken watch

I’m so confused (I’m so confused)

I feel abused (I feel abused)

But I am used

To being used


What am I on (what am I on)

What am I on on on (on on)

What am I on (what am I on)

Why do you do what you do

What am I on (what am I on)

What am I on on on (on on)

What am I on (what am I on)

Why do you do what you do


Take me on a special trip

and fill me up with candy

Wrap it up in tissue paper

Drop it in the sand please

Sweet and salty soapy messy

Love me like a mountain

Fly me like a pilot and I’ll

Pour out like a fountain


Wrap me up in softness

and show me how soft you can be

Watch the fish dance to the music

Like they were made to be

Save me from my paranoia

You are not a bad man

Cry and tell me that you’re sorry

I will understand


What am I on (what am I on)

What am I on on on (on on)

What am I on (what am I on)

Why do you do what you do

What am I on (what am I on)

What am I on on on (on on)

What am I on (what am I on)

Why do you do what you do


What am I on (what am I on)

What am I on on on (on on)

What am I on (what am I on)

Why do you do what you do

What am I on (what am I on)

What am I on on on (on on)

What am I on (what am I on)

Why do you do what you do
