Jim`s Big Ego Stress Lyrics

Stress Lyrics

Oh yeah...

Coming at ya...



I'm Addicted to stress

that's the way that i get things done

if I'm not under pressure then i sleep too long

and i hang around like a bum

i think I'm going nowhere and that makes me nervous

everybody's out to get me but i feel all right

everybody's out to get me but i feel all right

everybody's out to get me but i feel all right

Everybody's thinking 'bout me

its the little things that get you

its the little things that get you when you weren't paying attention

its the little things that get you

its the little things that get you when you weren't paying attention



trying to cut down on my caffeine consumption

so when i get up i just have one cup of coffee

and i like to have another cup of coffee with my breakfast

and on the way to work i like to get a cup of coffee

like the kind of cup of coffee that you get with the donuts

but i never get the donut i just have the cup of coffee

and when i get to work i have a cup of coffee

cause i like to have coffee when I'm talking on the phone

but it usually grows cold and i need to get another cup of coffee

and its lunch, and i have an espresso

and when i get back its not morning anymore so i have

a diet cola and another diet cola

but then I'm feeling fine and I'm feeling pretty sharp

and feeling pretty wired and I'm getting things done

but right about two i get this little tiny migraine

it starts behind my eyes and it moves to the back of my neck

and it moves to the bottom of my spine

but it doesn't get there until 5 or 6 o clock

which is the end of the day so I'm fine!

so I'm fine so I'm fine

except when i have to work late when i have to work late

which i usually do



I'm Addicted to stress

that's the way that i get things done

if I'm not under pressure then i sleep too long

and i hang around like a bum

and i think I'm going nowhere and that makes me nervous

everybodies out to get me, but i feel alright

everybodies out to get me, but i feel alright

everybodies out to get me, but i feel alright

everybodies thinking about me!



((talking to trumpet player))

hey, how ya doing... 

looking good... 

you been working out? yeah i can tell... 

alright... see ya later...



i love to work i love to run i love to play real hard

i love to steal little things from the grocery store

like a piece of bubble gum or sometimes i just stick

my thumb in a peach and leave it there

i love to work i love to run i love to water-ski snowboard

jet ski skydive parasail hanglide rollerblade mountainbike

bungee jump well i mean i'd love to do these things if i ever had the time

i love to work i love to work i love to workout after work

i love to spend a little time with this woman I'm seeing

except uh, we never get the time to spend together

so we call each other up and we talk about work

but i think id really love is to get up by myself on a tiny little island

in the middle of the ocean with just me a book and a cellular phone

and a personal computer in case something came up

and i'd eat and i'd drink and i'd run and i'd sleep

and i wouldn't do nothing but swim all day

except i don't know how to do laps in the ocean

where there are sharks! where there are sharks! where there are sharks!

and there's this kind of anemone that sticks in your foot

and the poison goes up to your brain and you die

and sand fleas! sand fleas! yuck!

but actually i think would be really relaxing

just me by myself in the middle of the ocean

and thats what i'd really like to do more than anything else

except i'd probably hate it



I'm Addicted to stress

its the way that i get things done

if I'm not under pressure then i sleep too long

and i hang around like a bum

and i think I'm going nowhere and that makes me nervous...

everybodies out to get me, but i feel alright

everybodies out to get me, but i feel alright

everybodies out to get me, but i feel alright

everybodies thinking about me!



everybodies out to get me, but i feel alright

everybodies out to get me, but i feel alright

everybodies out to get me, but i feel alright

everybodies thinking about me!(x2)
