Overwhelmed

by Joel Samberg

Mr. Webster says it's "feeling, showing, marked by nervous strain."
When a cargo load of tension pounds upon my weary brain
I smash guitars
I throw glass jars
I scream and curse
Become perverse
My music blares
From down dark stairs
... and then I feel much better.
Mr. Webster says "excite, provoke," to feed the heart's sensation
To keep it pimping, keep it warm
I need some stimulation
Like eating food
And being shrewd
Or cashing checks
And having sex
Like opening night
And being right
... without it I would fade.
Mr. webster says "lack of success, a decline or decay."
When stimulation fails to touch
My heart for just one day
I smash guitars
I throw glass jars
I scream and curse
Become perverse
My music blares
From down dark stairs
... and I don't feel much better.
