I have tried to live clean
Like a monk or a priest
Problem is I am insane
No matter how strong the light
I am no fly
Because I find trouble no matter where it hides
On the sand laden beach
Or in the bottom of a drink
Up in a castle in the sky
To the untrained eye it might
Look as though it's all alright
But I find trouble no matter where it hides
I just can't help myself
I just can't help myself
If I could help myself I'd help myself to more
I just can't help myself
I just can't help myself
If I could help myself I'd help myself to more
More
In the easy sleeping night
Drooling gallons to my side
Without disturbance I slowly wake
I clear the sand from out of my eyes
To look for something to despise
Because I find trouble no matter where it hides
When the children's choir sings
For the sake of melody
I feel so jealous and deprived
There's no North Star in the sky
Who could light my calloused eyes
Because I find trouble no matter where it hides
I just can't help myself
I just can't help myself
If I could help myself I'd help myself to more
I just can't help myself
I just can't help myself
If I could help myself I'd help myself to more
More
Because I find trouble no matter where it hides
And it's like damn dude maybe take a day off
And that's sage wisdom but still I press on
The truth is I was never looking for
Much of anything at all
But it seems I've stuck gold
Well maybe it's coal
It could be shit for all I know
Because I find trouble no matter where it hides
