The Keys To Life vs. 15 Minutes Of Fame

[Pilot over PA] "Folks I know you're all dying to know how long-- I cannot answer that now. We're gonna have to remain as technicians come over and take a look at it and uh once that's done, then we'll give you an estimate I'd say it's probably at least uh 15 minutes or so." [Verse 1] It's like all of Franklin Avenue now sleeps upon my chest--my chest I've used cigarette butts and loose leaves to build my nest--build my nest Did I mention I appreciate the way you treat your guests?--guess not But I'm not really convinced when you say that you're impressed--hell no The line between MC and comedian gets a little thinner--little thinner Now it's nothing but ruffage for lunch and punchlines for dinner--feed me I've tried to open the blinds to let in some sunshine Wound the watch 'til it broke all in hopes of stopping the time [Chorus] The key broke off in the ignition humping if I wandered off through my thoughts wishing Hoping this could be for you but it is for me patiently I stay busy, I wait, I see [X2] It's the sure shot [X6] [Verse 2] See it's simple--simple, it's not that I want to make it ripple--ripple But I feel I'm only being civil--civil When I sit back and giggle like the rest it's the ritalin-a-fest! I'm stressed--stressed, but most of 'em would never guess--never guess That I'm closing in upon the dredge Why? Cause I think it'd be best for the who? To hide the mess from who? It's all true--it's all true not good but I know it'll do--it'll do Still trying to reach the kid in you So I may continue to find why this childproof's so wild I smile--smile, tired, I walk
