The key to life vs 15 minutes of fame

[Pilot over PA]
"Folks I know you're all dying to know how long--
I cannot answer that now. We're gonna have to remain as
technicians come over
and take a look at it and uh once that's done, then we'll give
you an estimate
I'd say it's probably at least uh 15 minutes or so."

[Verse 1]
It's like all of Franklin Avenue now sleeps upon my chest--my
chest
I've used cigarette butts and loose leaves to build my
nest--build my nest
Did I mention I appreciate the way you treat your guests?--guess
not
But I'm not really convinced when you say that you're
impressed--hell no
The line between MC and comedian gets a little thinner--little
thinner
Now it's nothing but ruffage for lunch and punchlines for
dinner--feed me
I've tried to open the blinds to let in some sunshine
Wound the watch 'til it broke all in hopes of stopping the time

[Chorus]
The key broke off in the ignition humping if I wandered off
through my thoughts wishing
Hoping this could be for you but it is for me patiently I stay
busy, I wait, I see [X2]

It's the sure shot [X6]

[Verse 2]
See it's simple--simple, it's not that I want to make it
ripple--ripple
But I feel I'm only being civil--civil
When I sit back and giggle like the rest it's the
ritalin-a-fest!
I'm stressed--stressed, but most of 'em would never guess--never
guess
That I'm closing in upon the dredge
Why? Cause I think it'd be best for the who? To hide the mess
from who?
It's all true--it's all true not good but I know it'll do--it'll
do
Still trying to reach the kid in you
So I may continue to find why this childproof's so wild
I smile--smile, tired, I walked a thousand miles--miles
wired over the thoughts I've dialed--dialed
Inspired by the monsters, the files of life full of stars and
stripes

[Chorus]

[Chorus End]
If you wanna sleep with me and talk about existance
We'll need more than 15 minutes
I'll tell you what let's forget about the fame
Push pause on the game and get to know each other by our real
names
If you wanna sleep with me and talk about existance
We'll need more than 15 minutes
I'll tell you what let's forget about the fame
Push pause on the game and get to know each other by our first
names
If you wanna sit with me and talk about existance
We'll need more than 15 minutes
I'll tell you what let's forget about the fame
Push pause on the game...What the f**k's your name?
