***original lyrics***
I'VE GOT A PICTURE I TOOK WITH STEVEN TYLER ON MY PHONE (ON MY PHONE)
LES CLAYPOOL IS MY COUSIN AND HE DOESN'T HATE ME (DOESN'T HATE ME)
I WON'T STOP BELIEVIN', STUMBLIN' WITH A STOLEN GLASS OF WINE
COLLAPSING IN THE BACK OF A CAB.
I'VE GOT CONNECTIONS, YOU BETTER LISTEN TO ME
I'VE GOT DIRECTIONS, TO THE MONEY TREE
I'VE GOT A GLAM-TECHNO-METAL BAND I STARTED BACK IN 1997
WE'RE GONNA BE HUGE, ON FRONT PAGE NEWS, HALFTIME SUPERBOWL, HOTPLATE HEAVEN
I'VE GOT CONNECTIONS, I'M LIVIN' THE DREAM
I'VE GOT CONNECTIONS, YOU BETTER LISTEN TO ME
I SENT MY LIMO TO PICK UP THE CARCASS OF MICHEAL JACKSON, WE'RE DOING A RECORD TOGETHER.
THROUGH THE MIRACLE OF SEANCE AND RESAMPLING, HIS BRAIN IS ALIVE IN A JAR FOREVER.
WE CAN TAKE A RIDE IN MY PRIVATE JET
WE'RE GOIN' TO MIAMI TO HANG WITH PITBULL, OH HE'S MAKIN' A COME BACK!
HOLOGRAM WORSHIP
PRODUCT PLACEMENT
CONSUMED BY A TUBE
INTO A VACCUM
I AM CLOSE PERSONAL FRIENDS WITH THE PRESIDENT OF COSTA RICA.
IF YOU DO EVERYTHING I SAY,
WE ARE GOING TO PLAY AT THE PRESIDENTIAL PALACE IN COSTA RICA (COSTA RICA)
YOU ARE LUCKY YOU MET ME AT THE BAR RIGHT BEFORE CLOSING TIME
YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO BE FAMOUS AND RICH LIKE ME, PUKING ON MYSELF, STUMBLING IN THE STREET.
I'VE GOT CONNECTIONS, YOU BETTER LISTEN TO ME
I'VE GOT DIRECTIONS, TO THE MONEY TREE
YOU WON'T NEED INSPECTIONS, EVIDENCE TO BELIEVE
EVERYBODY IS A NOBODY, UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE,
FIVE MINUTES IN THE SPOTLITE
DISSOLVE INTO THE GRAIN AND SUCCUMB TO THE WAYS OF THE SKELETON DANCE
BITE THAT BAIT, MUNCH THAT BRAIN
OBSERVE THE HYPE, FALL DOWN THE PIPE, DRAINED IN A HAZE, KNIVES WITH MADNESS GRIPES STIFES
STRIPES PAGEANTRY DECORATIONS.
VULTURES WAIT IN HEARSES FOR YOUR DEMISE.
CORPSES FOR CASH BEHIND A MASK, A THIN DISGUISE
I'VE GOT CONNECTIONS
I'M PILL POPPIN', I'M NAME DROPPIN', I TALK TO GOD 'CAUSE HE CHOSE ME
DIVINE PROVIDENCE, PRINCE OF YOUR KINGDOM, WORSHIP BY PROXY YOUR GOD THRU ME
I CAN'T KARAOKE, BUT I'M A HELL OF A MIME
I'LL CLIMB THAT ROPE, IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
PUT YOU IN MY BOX, WHERE THE DREAM WILL NEVER DIE
WHEN THE OTHERS KICK THE BUCKET, WE'LL BE DRINKIN' RED WINE...AT THE RESTAURANT IN THE SKY
