Glass Cactus - Take a Chance on Me (Bonus) Lyrics

This one's for Fred

When I breathe, cause my eyes
I can barely see
All these demons inside of me
I just want Mom and Dad to be proud of me
Make money through music undoubtedly
But I don't see that when I look ahead
Cause I spend all my free time lying in bed
And no I'm not the guy to say I'd rather be dead
But I still bleed red getting pumped from my heart

And I still smoke darts when I'm bored
In between smoking green and finishing reports
Smoking weed in a blanket fort
Watching shit on Netflix, fixing up my setlist
That's about to be playing in a couple nights
Need to figure out how to get my head right
Need some red tights, or some Christmas lights
Anything just to get that mood right

So take a chance on me
And maybe you'll see
That I've got talent and creativity to give
So take a chance on me
Yo, yo

Hit the flow like a big bomb
Hear the beat drop
Everyday I'm striving to reach the top
All I need is that one thing
That I did bring
Strapped to my neck strung with the six-strings
And I need this now I believe it
It's my musical pledge of allegiance
When the smoke hits, I plead it's
Leaving a taste so sour

These girls got me up for hours
Man this mystery I'm like Austin Powers
With my teen years lost in the powders
Falling so deep I'm becoming a coward
But It's time to turn this up louder
Sweaty clothes then hop in the shower
Sing like everybody else is dead
Or at least they are inside of my head
And I feel like this force is devine
It becomes just a it's just a matter of time
And I don't need to focus inside of my mind
Words they exist and I just need to find them
These people can't see what they need
They should look right behind them
I'm a transparent gem
With gold created by my brainstem

So take a chance on me
And maybe you'll see
That I've got talent and creativity to give
So take a chance on me

So take a chance on me
And maybe you'll see
That I've got talent and creativity to give
So take a chance on me

So take a chance on me
So take a chance on me
And maybe you'll see

Take a chance on me
