^AChinese masseuse, comes between us ^E Talks in haikus, plastic venus ^AGot a headrush, in her pocket ^E Two rubbers two lubes, and a silver rocket

[Chorus]

^AHang on, hang on ^E to your IQ, to your ID ^AHang on, hang on ^E to your IQ, to your ID ^Am6/9 ^D7/A I'm lonely,^Am6/9 I'm lonely ^Am6/9 ^D7/A I'm lonely,^Am6/9 I'm lonely

[Verse]

^AEvery morning, my eyes will open wide ^E I gotta get high, before I go outside ^ARoll another, for breakfast ^E Burning clouds around, and in my solar plexus

[Chorus]

^AHang on, hang on ^E to your IQ, to your ID ^AHang on, hang on ^E to your IQ, to your ID ^Am6/9 ^D7/A I'm lonely,^Am6/9 I'm lonely ^Am6/9 ^D7/A I'm lonely,^Am6/9 I'm lonely

^ALegs eleven, makes me stay up late ^E Two fat ladies on my back, and now it's 88 ^AI'm a fool, whose tool is small ^E It's so miniscule, it's no tool at all

[Chorus]

^AHang on, hang on ^E to your IQ, to your ID ^AHang on, hang on ^E to your IQ, to your ID ^Am6/9 ^D7/A I'm lonely,^Am6/9 I'm lonely ^Am6/9 ^D7/A I'm lonely,^Am6/9 I'm lonely
