I was watching this monkey, this monkey watching me   Then I needed a friend, or some company   Cause some days I just can't flick the switch   Some days my skin just isn't so thick   I'm just here and I'm just hearing   I get lost inside the endless wires   Helpless as the new ross fire   I'll be up all night waiting for the punch line      If I'm losing my mind, one day at a time   Then I won't hold my breath      So turn the house upside down   To find something worth thinking about   Impatiently watch the walls close in on me   I stare into space until I see   It's space that's staring into me   We talk a while and we say our goodbyes      If I'm losing my mind, one day at a time   From talking to myself   If I travel through time one day at a time   Then I won't hold my breath, hold my breath, hold my breath   No I won't hold my breath   I said I won't hold my breath yeah, yeah oooh      If I'm losing my mind, one day at a time   From talking to myself, talking, talking   If I travel through time one day at a time   Then I won't hold my breath waiting for the punch line
