My Brain Is Working Overtime Lyrics & Chords By Rivers Cuomo

My brain is working overtime
I need something to ease my mind
And as my thoughts go manic
I reel and start to panic
There's no place to hide behind

I freak and then hallucinate (ohh)
I'm going fast when I should wait
My parents think I'm lazy
but damn, I'm going crazy
I can't help my mental state

(Pick it up y'all, pick it up)
Ohh la la
(He's trippin')
La dee da
(Mental slippin')
Take these brains out of my way

I work into a frenzied clip
I bite the corners of my lip
I'm losin' my appetite
My pants don't even fit right
Take away the month-old dip

(Pick it up y'all)
My hair can start a bowl cut fad
The state of my attire is sad
And if I was run over by a
brand-new Range Rover
Hey, I'd actually be glad

(Pick it up 'yall, pick it up)
Ohh la la
(He's trippin')
La dee da
(Mental slippin')
Take these brains out of my way

Do you really want me down?
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me down?
Cause I'm waiting to see

My brain is working overtime
I need something to ease my mind
And as my thoughts go manic
I reel and start to panic
There's no place to hide behind

(Pick it up y'all, pick it up)

Ohh lala
(He's trippin')
La dee da
(Mental slippin')
Take these brains out of my way

Ohh lala
(He's trippin')
La dee da
(Mental slippin')
Take these brains out of my way

Ohh
