Lyrics
Prologue
Woke up in a puddle of nacho cheese and regret
Cussed at the clock and the neighbor’s yappy pet
Slipped on some paper labeled “New Improved Trash”
Goddamn, it’s morning, and my brain’s out of cash
Premonition
Dreamed I bought a planet from a freak at the mall
Tried to return it but they ghosted my call
Stuck with a warranty for a useless life hack
Devil in a discount suit just laughed at my crack
Intro
Stumbled out of bed with gum stuck in my hair
Cursed the goddamn morning and my empty Frigidaire
Put on mismatched shoes, tripped on a bottle of gin
Monday’s already bullshit, where the fuck do I begin
Verse 0
Television screaming ads for stuff I don’t need
“Order now, dumbass, fulfill your deepest greed”
My coffee tastes like failure and expired Prozac
Neighbor yells through the wall, “Go fuck yourself, Jack!”
Pre-Chorus
Some goon in suspenders yelling two-for-one deal
I swear to Christ this life can’t be for real
Chorus
Pawned my pride for a coupon that expired in May
Got scammed by a robot, damn, it called me by name
Shoved a flyer in my face—it just said, “Too late”
Freaky deaky on a Monday, fate’s ready to detonate
Post-Chorus
Freaky deaky at the start
We’re all freaky deaky at the start
Verse 1
Bought a box of weird shit, marked "special edition"
Opened it up, it screamed at me with bad intentions
Who the hell packaged this? Was it the goddamn mob?
Sticky tape, angry notes, and a warning from Bob
Pre-Chorus
Some schmuck in a bow tie says "try it, you'll see"
Next thing I know, I forgot my own name by three
Chorus
Lost my patience at the checkout line
Cursed at a granny and committed a crime
Signed up for a scam just to get a free pen
Dipped my dreams in detergent, now I’ll never again
Post-Chorus
Freaky deaky from the start
We’re all freaky deaky from the start
Chorus
They sold you Dignity and Poster on the back
Fairity and Hyphen-Hyphen throw you off track
Orphan-Aven, Gleeven-Hoyven, what a scam
Bacteria pigged out, now it’s freaky deaky in a can
Post-Chorus
Freaky deaky in a can
We’re all freaky deaky in a can
Verse 2
You got side effects, man, they’re stupid as hell
Put on a leisure suit and ring that bell
Back to the Titanic, just for a dance
Doing the hustle, baby, caught in a trance
Pre-Chorus
Ask some random jackass, where’s Studio 54
They say, “What the fuck, kid, you ain’t from here, for sure”
Chorus
They sold you Dignity and Poster on the back
Fairity and Hyphen-Hyphen throw you off track
Orphan-Aven, Gleeven-Hoyven, what a scam
Bacteria pigged out, now it’s freaky deaky in a can
Post-Chorus
Freaky deaky in a can
We’re all freaky deaky in a can
Bridge
Knock-knock, who’s there? It's a goddamn prescription
My brain’s on vacation, here's a new affliction
Stuffed my head in a jar just to see what would happen
Goddamn disco ball spinning, everybody’s clappin’
Verse 3
Sold my grief for a coupon, now my luck’s in the red
Hyped on some bullshit a salesman said
Tried to moonwalk but I slipped on the slime
Getting yelled at in German for wasting their time
Pre-Chorus
Some jerk on the sidewalk is quoting Giorgio Moroder
Tells me I’m late, that the freak show’s over
Chorus
Experimental flavor, it tastes like regret
Buy one get insanity, what the hell did I get?
Post-Chorus
Freaky deaky in a can
We’re all freaky deaky in a can
Bridge
Knock-knock, who’s there? It's a goddamn prescription
My brain’s on vacation, here's a new affliction
Stuffed my head in a jar just to see what would happen
Goddamn disco ball spinning, everybody’s clappin’
Verse 3
Sold my grief for a coupon, now my luck’s in the red
Hyped on some bullshit a salesman said
Tried to moonwalk but I slipped on the slime
Getting yelled at in German for wasting their time
Pre-Chorus
Some jerk on the sidewalk is quoting Giorgio Moroder
Tells me I’m late, that the freak show’s over
Chorus
Experimental flavor, it tastes like regret
Buy one get insanity,
Outro
Found a receipt for heartache crumpled in my jeans
My liver’s filing complaints to the health magazines
Bartered my common sense for a plastic kazoo
Now I’m busted in the alley, singing fuck you too
The pigeons have opinions about my sick moves
Breaking out the foxtrot on slick platform shoes
Disco Bob sends a postcard from the damned vending machine
It’s all freaky deaky—let’s kill the routine
Final Post-Chorus
Freaky deaky in a can
We’re still freaky deaky in a can
Freaky deaky in a can
Fuck it, freaky deaky in a can
