Hear the words a jumble try this tongue twister
Kevin has a caterpillar squeezed between his fingers
Hear the mailman come, see what he delivers
And you wait and it makes you feel strange
As if you were afraid
And you lie with a look to the side
And you say I was addicted to the drug
Now I know when I’ve had enough

Could curl up and sleep on the floor
But now I’m riding the train a hundred miles an hour
Feels like this train might never stop

Watching static on the television
When the morning comes
And you wait and it makes you feel strange
As if you were deranged
With a look to the side
And you say I was addicted to the drug
But now I know when I’ve had enough
So far, we’ve come so far

It’s about being compelled... waking up in the morning on the couch, watching the TV and the static’s on.
— Neil Finn, 1998
