lyrics

i've got a friend
mickey is his name
he takes me out at night
he takes all the blame

he makes me say all the wrong things
and he makes me do what i don't want to
but i know i know i know
he's better than reality
so the choice is clear as you can see

he's got a hold on me

mickey's got a hold on me
'this sense of immortality
is temporary' says
this half-full bottle now in front of me
perception is the next to go
with him he brings my self esteem
but he'll be back around again
when i get more inside of me

i don't know what the label shows
but mickey's all the proof that i need
and it doesn't take a genius to figure out
that mickey's got a hold on me

i went out just the other night
i got drunk and i got in a fight
mickey and me, we make a good team
i love him
and he comes in a bottle

he's got a hold on me

mickey's got a hold on me
another night spent lonely
drinking til my 40's dry
thinking about the sentimental side
of me my nonexistent tapestry
is hindering my game and chemistry
my roommate sucks
my tape is duct
i owe my best friend forty bucks
