Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Billy is a wild one
Screaming like a fat cat
Looking like a monster
On a rollercoaster ride
Hiding in the basement
Blame it on the government
Tryna make some money
But he’s always out of cash
Do you like it like that?
[Verse 2]
Gina is a flat top
Stiffer than an old board
Swimming like a catfish
When the water's gone bad
Standing in a kitchen
Like a bitch in the red light
Suck it like a lady
Do you like it like that?
[Chorus]
Oh yeah
Do you wanna go down?
Are you losing your ground?
We can have us a big time, baby
And I'm filling you up
With my favorite stuff
Send you up like a rocket, baby
Rock it, baby
Oh yeah
[Verse 3]
Johnny's got a guitar
Plays it very bizarre
Wanna be a big star
Screaming at the camera
Likes to do cocaine
Mix it up with heroin
Pissin' on the sofa
How do you like it like that?
[Chorus]
Do you wanna go down?
Are you losing your ground?
We can have us a big time baby
And I'm filling you up
With my favorite stuff
Send you up like a rocket baby
Do you wanna be me, or do you wanna stay clean?
I can give you something baby
Take you out for a ride from this hurtin' inside
Desperation, baby
Rock it, baby
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Do you wanna go down?
Are you losing your ground?
We can have us a big time, baby
And I'm filling you up
With my favorite stuff
Send you up like a rocket, baby
Do you wanna be me, or do you wanna stay clean?
I can give you something, baby
Take you out for a ride from this hurtin' inside
Like a rocket, baby
Baby
Like a rocket, baby
