 Finally, song flow and lyrics (Figure 1 = Figure 1A + Figure 1B)
 
 [INTRO] X4
 w/Figure 1
 Finished with my woman cause she couldn't help me with my mind
 People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
 [Figure 2] X2
 w/Figure 1
 All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
 Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
 w/Figure 3
 Can you help me? Are you for my brain? Oh yeah!
 [Figure 1A] X2
 w/Figure 1
 I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
 I can't see the things that make true happiness I must be blind
 [Solo over Figure 1A]
 [Figure 1A] X2
 w/Figure 1
 Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
 Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal
 [Figure 2] X2
 w/Figure 1A
 And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
 I tell you to enjoy life I wish i could but it's too late
 [Figure 1]
