Nervous Breakdown         music & lyrics by Chris James 1990

 

I wake up in the morning

Have a bite to eat

I comb my hair

And brush my teeth

I put on a shirt

And knot up my tie

I’m looking pretty

But I don’t know why

I do it

It’s because my will’s too weak

That I don’t start to holler

Not even a squeak

Just give me a little time

And I’ll convince myself

That it’s not worth the effort

Cause we’re all going to hell

Well I’m having a nervous breakdown

A very nervous breakdown

I’m having a nervous breakdown

A very nervous breakdown

Now.

Lying in my bed

I can’t get to sleep until all my tears are shed

While the pressure builds on me

To sign my own declaration of insanity

What I’m saying here right now

Is I think I’m gonna have another nervous breakdown

It wont be long and they’ll be giving me

A whole lot of sedatives

And all for free,

Signed me

 

You know you just can’t get things right

When you work all day and you drink all night

And your body is feeling low

Your mind is dizzy and your blood won’t flow

Both feet are off the ground

While you bury your head

And think out loud

“What’s wrong with me”

Please someone help me

Cause it’s help I need

 

I’m having a nervous breakdown

I very nervous breakdown

I’m having a nervous breakdown

I very nervous breakdown

Now
