The Heartbreak Kids - Inner Writer Man Lyrics

He is stuck in a tree
Waving holy socks at me
He has filthy little feet
And his lunch between his teeth
I'm afraid of his charms
Think it's setting off alarms
And I'm feeling kinda grim
As my head begins to swim

But whenever I'm awake then he's asleep
When I wanna go to sleep he starts talking to me

Crazy, crazy little writer man
What am I gonna do
What am I gonna do
Lazy, lazy inner writer man
What am I gonna do
What am I gonna do with you

When we're out and about
Then we joke and muck around
Look at people and their lives
Tell the truth, invent some lies
He says "see over there
See that flower in her hair
Is it proof of his love
Or an attempted cover up?"

Oh, but whenever I'm awake then he's asleep
When I wanna go to sleep he starts talking to me

Crazy, crazy little writer man
What am I gonna do
What am I gonna do
Lazy, lazy inner writer man
What am I gonna do
What am I gonna do with you

I've tried cake, tried caffeine
Stuffed his face with nicotiene
Tried to bribe him out the tree
So he'll stop harassing me
But he won't move an inch
He don't take a subtle hint
So I turn and start to walk
But ignore him, then he talks

Oh whenever I'm awake then he's asleep
When I wanna go to sleep he starts talking to me

Crazy, crazy little writer man
What am I gonna do
Oh what am I gonna do
Lazy, lazy inner writer man
What am I gonna do
What am I gonna do with you
