Curtains Closed Lyrics

I said I wanted it long but you cut it short
And now I'm catching a cold
I told you not but no crack in the doobie
But it was already rolled

Oh, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
Oh well, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed last night
Oh baby, I must be mad

Well, I don't care about your massage oils
It's got my skin going red
Cause I'm a mad mother-fucker
With my curtains open
Sitting tucked up in bed

I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
Oh well, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed last night
Oh baby, I must be mad

I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
Oh well, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
Oh yeah, well I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed last night
Oh baby, I must be mad

like the song. haven't quite figured out what it's about yet.

apparently it is about smoking weed in bed and how Alex felt when he did I guess - maybe he wrote it while stoned, because it does seem a bit strange.

"I told you not but no crack in the doobie But it was already rolled"

is the drugs part and the rest of the song is the random descriptive thoughts of his life he got when stoned...

yeah the drugs thing makes sense, and the 'not closing the curtains' = paranoia? also, maybe it's just me but when i first heard this song i thought it had similar guitar riffs to 'Aphrodisiac' by Bow Wow Wow, heh.

Maybe he was doing the drugs with the curtains open just because he didn't care who saw.

His voice sounds so weird on this song! Well yeah, it's definitely about drugs, it's pretty clear haha I agree with nailed about the "paranoia" theory regarding the chorus.

My thoughts on this song is that its about some girlfriend and how he is having sex, but doesent care that the curtains are open.

"Well, I don't care about your massage oils It's got my skin going red Cause I'm a mad mother-fucker With my curtains open Sitting tucked up in bed"
