- Cracking Up Lyrics / with translationsCracking up, I'm getting ready to go
Had enough, I can't take any more
No pills that I can take
This is too real, and, there ain't no escape
It scares the daylights
It makes a nightmare
I'm tense and I'm nervous.
Everybody all around me
Shakin' hands and sayin' howdy
I don't think it's funny no more
Craking up, like a worn out shoe
Ain't wet, but the world's leakin' through
I'd run, but I find no pace
i laugh, but it's wrecking me, wrecking me
It make a shiver, it make a shake
It make a monster, just like an earthquake
Everybody havin' fun
I don't know how they can carry on
'Cause, I don't think it's funny no more
At dead of night time, at crack of dawn
It comes upon me without warning
If I were a gunman I would shoot
I'd tear the hair out by the root
I'd make a knife out of a notion
All at sea in an ocean of emoton
I don't think it's funny no more
I don't think it's funny no more
Crackin' up
I don't think it's funny no more
Crackin' up
Had enough, I can't take any more
No pills that I can take
This is too real, and, there ain't no escape
It scares the daylights
It makes a nightmare
I'm tense and I'm nervous.
Everybody all around me
Shakin' hands and sayin' howdy
I don't think it's funny no more
Craking up, like a worn out shoe
Ain't wet, but the world's leakin' through
I'd run, but I find no pace
i laugh, but it's wrecking me, wrecking me
It make a shiver, it make a shake
Everybody havin' fun
I don't know how they can carry on
'Cause, I don't think it's funny no more
At dead of night time, at crack of dawn
It comes upon me without warning
If I were a gunman I would shoot
I'd tear the hair out by the root
I'd make a knife out of a notion
All at sea in an ocean of emoton
I don't think it's funny no more
I don't think it's funny no more
Crackin' up
I don't think it's funny no more
Crackin' up
