LYRICS FOR "Longview [Live]"

I sit around and watch the tube, but nothing's on
I change the channels for an hour or two
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old s***
In a house with unlocked doors
And I'm f****** lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going blind
And I smell like s***

Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feeling like a dog in heat
Barred indoors from the summer street
I locked the door to my own cell
And I lost the key

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going blind
And I smell like s***

I've got no motivation
Where is my motivation?
No time for the motivation
Smoking my inspiration

I sit around and watch the phone but no one's calling
Call me pathetic, call me what you will
My mother says to get a job
But she don't like the one she's got
When masturbation's lost its fun
You're f****** lonely

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going blind
And loneliness has to suffice

Bite my lip and close my eyes
I was slipping away to paradise
Some say, quit or I'll go blind
But it's just a myth
