The Id

(You see, it goes like this)

Momma, don't you turn away

Just because I've gone astray

Out of the fire, into the frying pan

This is the story of a sorry man

I have been known to deviate myself

From the path that is set

But let us not forget about the man

Who decided to dedicate his life to the jetset

He is now just a shadow of his former self

And dark clouds hover overhead

The living dead

Move over, you see it goes like this

I could be a mover, I could be a shaker

Don't you try to get in my way

I'm the heart breaker, the money maker

This will all be mine one day

Well, I myself do not think that such a raw ambition, his disposition

To be a sin in itself, though

Should we not forget about the mess

That he got himself in

Where now stands this meek and empty man

There once was a typhoon

Earthquaking, a phenomena

Higher than the rest of us

'Cause he was steppin' on us, steppin' over people

And this is how the story goes, folks

I will go undefeated, I'll be protected

You think you're big time, I'll show you big time

Hollerin' and swallowin' air

Crawling in the pit of despair

Once he got his foot in the door

Well, you know he was a fast stepper

A bad taste in the mouth kind of guy

Funny fella though, always had a joke or two

But be careful, the joke could be on you

Did you ever hear the one about the id

The ego, the super ego

The monumental man sat back to watch his automobile grow

He was a Lamborghini kind of guy, got so high

He would swear he could touch the sky

But the sky was the limit

He was calling, he was crawling

Riddled by the immensities of life

Ladies of the night would call all hours of the day

Every day, all day

Calling for his mommy when the day was done

Yes, he was moving, he was shaking

So lonesome tonight

And his eyes belied his smile awhile

Calling for his mummy but his mummy didn't come

I could be a mover, I could be a shaker

Don't you try to get in my way

I'm the heart breaker, the money maker

This will all be mine one day

I will go undefeated, I'll be protected

You think you're big time, I'll show you big time

Hollerin' and swallowin' air

Crawling in the pit of despair

I could be a mover, I could be a shaker

Don't you try to get in my way

I'm the heart breaker, the money maker

This will all be mine one day

I could be a mover, I could be a shaker

Don't you try to get in my way

I'm the heart breaker, the money maker

This will all be mine one day
