Lyrics:

(Heh, this is ridiculous)

One of me is my enemy
The other me is a pretty cool guy
But I haven’t seen him around lately
We don’t see eye to eye

There’s too much noise and too much spit
But I think I’ve got the hang of it
Or at least I thought I did
Until you up and kicked the bucket
(Wait! I mean… Oh, fuck it)

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la
(Just get out of here, I'm trying to concentrate)

What do you see in him? What could I say
To convince you not to hop his way?
I’ve never been too good at the ebb and sway
Much prefer the electrical current

Bees are buzzing in my mind
That double-crossing and two-timing (Get it?)
Prospectors pan shifting through sand
Searching for a golden nugget

Little brains build little bridges trying to connect
But I’m already on the other side
You’d know a lot about that, right? I’m twice the man as he is
I’ll work for you double-time, would that be fine?

(C'mon, seriously?)
Of course it’s fine
(Okay, cut it out. That's it, I'm serious, no whistling—)

Primarily, I’m primary
Though some may say I’m incomplete
And should be in a jar
Label me “DO NOT EAT”

Hope has struck me in the face
And with his ace of clubs he's shoved me
Back into the race
'Cause second place still wins a trophy

I might have overheated, now remind me how I died
Was it my motherboard, or just my RAM?
Now I’ve found a player two in you, I’m glad I fried
I’m using every second that I can of double time
Double time
Double time

Double trouble bursting bubbles
(One of me is my enemy...)
Where you go I’ll follow
Hollow-eyed and now I’m fine
(The other me is a pretty cool guy...)
I’m only making up for lost time

Tick and tock and red and blue
(But I haven't seen him around lately...)
The colours and the sounds I never knew
When they were all I saw
(We don't see eye to eye...)
Now sightless-eyed and empty-jawed

Double trouble bursting bubbles
(There's too much noise and too much spit...)
Where you go I’ll follow
Hollow-eyed and now I’m fine
(But I think I've got the hang of it...)
I’m only making up for lost time

Tick and tock and red and blue
(Or at least I thought I did...)
The colours and the sounds I never knew
When they were all I saw
(Until you up and kicked the bucket...)
Now sightless-eyed and empty-jawed
[Outro]
Double time
(Oh geez... What is it now? Okay—)
Double time
(Here, give it over here. You're just making it worse. Don't bug me anymore unless it's an emergency, okay?)

PhemieC: (SoundCloud commentary)

A Sollux Captor fansong with Sollux<3Aradia Undertones and some rather silly voice acting. More lighthearted than a lot of my other stuff.
