They Might Be Giants — Listless

[Verse 1] Get this over with before I change my mind Light the fuse on this rocket-fueled mistake Like a ragdoll, I'm hurled against my seat With so much g-force I can't move to reach the break [Chorus 1] Helpless to influence my ship's relentless course My human frailty complements its brutal force Listless, but I can't drop Too weak to work out how to stop [Verse 2] A metal brace to hold my head erect Electric pulses to keep my heart alive Servo motors that control my arms and legs And a spirit barely willing to survive [Chorus 2] Seemed like a good idea when I first thought of it What good is a plan if you're unwilling to commit? Now I'm listless, but I can't drop I'm too weak to work out how to stop [Chorus 3] I'd think of a solution if I weren't so mentally ill I can't remember where I put my brain-correcting pill Listless, just barely there Mouth held slightly open, uncomprehending stare And I'm listless, but I can't drop I'm too weak to work out how to stop
