Pre Chorus:
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
And I, I am feeling, a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I, scream from the top of my lungs,
"What's going on?"

I said "Hey! What's goin' on?"
