(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)

Here comes that awful feeling again

Welcome the ugly animal
I hold my breath to watch you swing,
My high rope acrobat ball and chain,
I´m not afraid, I messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up

I´ve got my telescope head in the haystack
I´m getting tired of your dodgeball circus act
Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command

Here comes that awful feeling again
Make way for monster jealousy
The strong man kicked sand into my breakfast cereal bowl
I´d spelled your name with Oatios,
He messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up

I´ve got my telescope head in the haystack
I am tired of your dodgeball circus act
Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command

(You´re mean, mean, mean
You tease, tease, tease me)

If I were you I´d really run from me
I´d really, really wish that I were you
When I get loose, I´ll climb a tree
And drop a load on your head
This monster in me makes me retch, you messed it, messed it up

I´ve got my telescope head in the haystack
I am jealous of your dodgeball circus act
Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark

Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command

(You´re mean, mean, mean
You tease, tease, tease me)

Do you smell jealousy?
Do you smell jealousy, jealousy, jealousy?
