lyrics

Hendrix: But the idea is to use all these hang ups as steps in life. Just like drinking coffee, you don't drink it everyday or else you go into a different scene with it. Like an escape.

Cavett: I don't know but it sounds good.

Turbo:
Most people think coffee's a metaphor for sex
But I drink it to stimulate my intellects
It directs me, gets me through the next week.
But the crash comes quick and it wrecks me.
Cause when I wake up, it's no longer natural
like my sister's make up-- I'm not sure I'll
make it through the day.
Is it okay if I stay around?
Begging for caffeine like a stray hound.
Is anything I say profound?
No. So catch another cup of joe and Turbo's on the go.
Filled the coffee machine with so many dreams that I spilled the beans.
Pour some sugar, go easy on the creams.
Life ain't always what it seems
That's means I can't stay addicted to caffeine
Did the surgeon general just forget to mention?
Coffee's hard on the heart, and it gives you hypertension.

She said “get your hands off of me
I'm not your cup of coffee"
She said “get your hands off of me
I'm not your cup of coffee"

BRA The Goat Carcass:
How do I feel about women right now?
They're like sneaky ninjas. Watch out KA-POW!
They fall under the People category
With the same old story and the glory given to the wrong dude
Time to be rude. Atel's mood is straight fucking crude
Cause I'm not a fan of people
I hear a lot noise and actually no one's equal
Like peeps far inferior that go to a steeple
When women act like winners, that shit is lethal.
Ouch. Ka-pow.

Cavett: Do you consider yourself a disciplined guy? Do you get up every day and work?
Hendrix: I try to get up everyday.
Cavett: That in itself is a discipline.
Hendrix: I'm still trying today.

Corduroy Phoenix:
Gotta pick it up now with these ladies
White and I rap but I'm not Slim Shady
Lately the ladies they've been treating me greatly
This one little girl I know of she's beautiful from the floor up
Dirty blonde, green eyes and she loves to get tore up
One minute I'm relaxing, enjoying the breeze
Next minute I'm next to breathless and I'm on my knees
Don't know much about these women but I'm learning them well
They can lead you to love, or send you to hell.

She said “get your hands off of me!
I'm not your cup of coffee"
