I knew it musta been some big set-up

All the action just would not let up

It's justa little bit back from the main road

Where the silence spreads and the men dig holes



I begin to spin the tale

You complain about my diction

It gives me friction

It gives me friction

But I like friction



My eyes are like telescopes

I see it all backwards, but who wants hope?

If I ever catch that ventriloquist

I'll squeeze his head right into my fist



Something comes a-crashin' in

What is it, what's the prediction?

I'll bet you it's friction

I'll bet you it's friction

But I like friction



How'd the snake get out of the skin?

All it took was a little friction



Stop this head motion and set sail

You know all us boys gonna wind up in jail



And I don't wanna grow up

It's too much contradiction

And too much friction

And too much friction

I'm crazy about friction

F - r - i - c - t- i - o - n

Friction

Friction
