I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa),
And I'm looking like a fool again (whoa),
I threw away my reputation,
One more song for the radio station.
I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa),
And I'm looking like a fool again (whoa),
Waking up on the bathroom floor,
Pull myself back together just to fall once more.
And my heart's beating out of my chest (whoa),
And this town is still making me sick (whoa),
And every penny from my last paycheck,
I've loaned on you.
I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa),
And I'm looking like a fool again (whoa),
So go ahead and take a picture,
And hang it up so you can tear me down.
I don't care (whoa),
Cause I'm still here (whoa),
And I've got nothing left to loose,
With all the years I've wasted on you!
(Go, go, go)
Momma and daddy's got the best cocaine,
Ritalin is never gonna be the same,
Twenty four hours on an empty brain,
I got my finger on the trigger and you're in my way.
I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa),
And I'm looking like a fool again (whoa),
I threw away my reputation,
One more song for the radio station.
I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa),
And I'm looking like a fool again (whoa),
And I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa),
And I'm looking like a fool again,
I'm bouncing off the walls again.
And I'm looking like a fool again (whoa),
I threw away my reputation,
One more song for the radio station.
I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa),
And I'm looking like a fool again (whoa),
Waking up on the bathroom floor,
Pull myself back together just to fall once more.
And my heart's beating out of my chest (whoa),
And this town is still making me sick (whoa),
And every penny from my last paycheck,
I've loaned on you.
I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa),
And I'm looking like a fool again (whoa),
So go ahead and take a picture,
And hang it up so you can tear me down.
I don't care (whoa),
Cause I'm still here (whoa),
And I've got nothing left to loose,
With all the years I've wasted on you!
(Go, go, go)
Momma and daddy's got the best cocaine,
Ritalin is never gonna be the same,
Twenty four hours on an empty brain,
I got my finger on the trigger and you're in my way.
I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa),
And I'm looking like a fool again (whoa),
I threw away my reputation,
One more song for the radio station.
I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa),
And I'm looking like a fool again (whoa),
And I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa),
And I'm looking like a fool again,
I'm bouncing off the walls again.

""Mommy and daddy's got the best cocaine Ritalin's never gonna feel the same twenty four hours on an empty brain I got my finger on the trigger and you're in my way" ritalin is a drug to help you calm down, so it won't feel the same as an upper like cocaine. he was sober for 24 hours, and is going insane without the drug in his system, so he is going to do something irrational to get it"
somebody else said this and i just wanted to point out that ritalin is actually a stimulant for people who don't really have ADD. For those with ADD, it relaxes them, but for most others, it does exactly what ADD would do to the body.
i can't believe some of your interpretations on here. the song is about cocaine, not about a girl who led him to it, not about ritalin or other drugs, ITS ABOUT COCAINE.
it's written in a form so it sounds like he's talking to a girl. but he's just talking about good old cocaine.
and the name sugarcult is from their lesbian neighbors in an apartment they had once. i'll try to find the right answer.
