Death is the cousin of sleep,
Just close your eyes, count sheep and breathe deep.
Think about the sound of relief that surrounds you,
You were already gone before I found you.

So I ration emotion, ‘cause existence exhausts me.

Maybe I need somebody that could save me
From the parts of myself that keep making me crazy.

I didn’t get turned on, I just got turned.
I wasn’t as aroused as I was concerned.

Got you feeling like you found love,
Or maybe it was just luck.
But honestly…it’s probably none of the above.

I will show you all you need to know.
You must hold on to anyone that wants you,
And I will love you through simple and the struggle.
But girl…you got to understand: the modern man must hustle.

I didn’t get turned on, I just got turned.
