VERSE
3 Speed
Eels
got a 3 speed and banana seat
sitting back on the sissy bar
went to sev and got got a drink
wish I was driving in daddy¡¯s car
and I looked up at the sky last night
and I thought I saw a bomb
and why won¡¯t you just tell me what¡¯s going on?
riding down on sprinhill road
meeting alfred out in the woods
dogs bark and mosquito¡¯s bite
scratching the itch that makes it feel good
and I looked into the mirror last night
all I saw was a pretty blonde
and why won¡¯t you just tell me what¡¯s going on?
life is funny
but not ha ha funny
peculiar I guess
you think I got it going my way
then why am I such a fuckin¡¯ mess?
want a pony and a birthday cake
want a party with a scary clown
kneel down and bow to the princess
kneel down for the queen of the town
and I looked up at the sky last night
and I thought I saw a bomb
and why won¡¯t you just tell me what¡¯s going on?
tell me what¡¯s going on
