Lyrics
Total loss - total idiot - hello - can you hear it?
Total loss - total idiot - hello - can you hear it?
All I'm trying to find is a little piece of mind

Perkins is invisible to the disrobed optic
I said Perkins is invisible to the disrobed optic
All I'm trying to find is a little piece of mind

My dog ate a hocker and grandma's off her rocker
I said my dog ate a hocker and grandma's off her rocker
All I'm trying to find is a little piece of mind

From the table to the oven to the freezer to the garbage
From the garbage to the table to freezer to the oven
All I'm trying to find is a little piece of mind

There are demons in the cabinet and Jesus ain't havin' it
I said there are demons in the cabinet and Jesus ain't haven' it
All I'm trying to find is a little piece of mind

Total loss - total idiot - hello - can you hear it?
Total loss - total idiot - hello - can you hear it?
All I'm trying to find is a little piece of mind
