Longview (Woodstock 1994)

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1: Billie Joe Armstrong] I sit around and watch the tube, but nothin'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 shit In a house with unlocked doors And I'm fuckin' lazy [Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong] 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 shit [Verse 2: Billie Joe Armstrong with Mike Dirnt] 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 [Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong] 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 shit [Bridge: Billie Joe Armstrong with Mike Dirnt] I got no motivation Where is my motivation? No time for motivation Smoking my inspiration Yeah! [Verse 3: Billie Joe Armstrong with Mike Dirnt, Tré Cool] I sit around and watch the phone, but no one's calling Call me pathetic, call me what you will (We 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 fucking lonely [Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong] 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'm tripping away to paradise Some say quit or I'll go blind But it's just a myth
