Double Time

(Heh. This is ridiculous.)

One of me is my enemy
The other me is a pretty cool guy
But I haven't seen him around lately
We don't see eye to eye

There's too much noise and too much spit
But I think I've got the hang of it
Or at least I thought I did
Until you up and kicked the bucket
(Wait! I mean... oh, fuck it)

Sha la la la la
La la la la la la la
Sha la la la la
La la la la la la

(Would you just get out of here? I'm trying to concentrate!)

What do you see in him? What could I say
To convince you not to hop his way?
I've never been too good at the ebb and sway
Much prefer the electrical current

The bees are buzzing in my mind
That double crossing and two-timing (get it?)
Prospectors pan shifting through sand
Searching for a golden nugget

Little brains build little bridges trying to connect
But I'm already on the other side
You'd know a lot about that, right?
I'm twice the man as he is
I'll work for you double-time
Would that be fine?

(C'mon seriously?)

Of course it's fine

(Okay, cut it out. That's it. I'm serious. No whistling.)

Primarily, I'm primary
Though some may say I'm incomplete
And should be in a jar
Label me "DO NOT EAT"

Hope has struck me in the face
And with his ace of clubs he shoved me
Back into the race
'Cause second place still wins a trophy

I might have overheated
Now remind me how I died
Was it my motherboard, or just my RAM?
Now I've found a player two in you
I'm glad I fried, I'm using every second that I can
Of double time, double time, double time

Double trouble bursting bubbles
Where you go I'll follow
Hollow-eyed and now I'm fine
I'm only making up for lost time

Tick and tock and red and blue
The colours and the sounds I never knew
When they were all I saw
Now sightless-eyed and empty-jawed

Double time
(Oh geeze, what is it now? Okay, here.)
(Give it over here. You're just making it worse.)
(But don't bug me anymore)
(Unless it's an emergency, okay?)
