lyrics
Inside you, your conscience, your compass, your guide
When it’s time to make choices, they help you decide
But these voices of reason I fear you will find
Are often unhelpful; here’s a story about mine
It goes like:
Criminy Yickett crawled out of my ear
For the first time in years I could hear
Sits on my shoulder the whole day long
And he talks to me like he knows right from wrong
Whispers to me all the things I should do
I say hey now what’s gotten into you
I say no
I say no
I say no
I say no
Criminy Yickett crawled out of my mind
What was he doing in there that whole time?
I just hope you’ve been behaving yourself
‘Cause I don’t know how I’d get along without your help
This little critter’s my only friend
But he’s having those bad ideas again
Oh, you know how it is when he gets like this
I just gotta listen very patiently to every thing that he’s saying to me
When he’s done I say no
I say no
I say no
I say no
It was worse before
Only silence and nothingness
Criminy Yickett crawled out of my ear
For the first time in years I could hear
When it’s time to make choices, they help you decide
But these voices of reason I fear you will find
Are often unhelpful; here’s a story about mine
It goes like:
Criminy Yickett crawled out of my ear
For the first time in years I could hear
Sits on my shoulder the whole day long
And he talks to me like he knows right from wrong
Whispers to me all the things I should do
I say hey now what’s gotten into you
I say no
I say no
I say no
I say no
Criminy Yickett crawled out of my mind
What was he doing in there that whole time?
I just hope you’ve been behaving yourself
‘Cause I don’t know how I’d get along without your help
This little critter’s my only friend
But he’s having those bad ideas again
Oh, you know how it is when he gets like this
I just gotta listen very patiently to every thing that he’s saying to me
When he’s done I say no
I say no
I say no
I say no
It was worse before
Only silence and nothingness
Criminy Yickett crawled out of my ear
For the first time in years I could hear
