Basket Case by The Terminals Lyrics

There's a basket in the kitchen
And you like it when it cooks
The taste of smoke is everywhere
You get the strangest looks

The carnival is in the air
You have to think so quick
The smell of burning gets so strong
Why did you wait so long?

[Chorus]
They chatter and they rattle
Make such hollow sounds
Think that you're still unaware
That in your basket you don't care

But you get stronger by the day
And stranger as you find your way
Basket case you're so evil
And you know too much too easily
Brooding almost, hatching out
Sticking to the sides
The atmosphere is cloying
As they make their last requests
The smell of burning gets so strong
Why did you wait so long?

[Chorus]
They chatter and they rattle
Make such hollow sounds
Think that you're still unaware
That in your basket you don't care

But you get stronger by the day
And stranger as you find your way
Basket case you're so evil
And you know too much too easily
Brooding almost, hatching out
Sticking to the sides
