I'm at work cutting lettuce for a chef salad
Though I don't really know if I've ever done this before today
I take the knife and hold it tight
Hold the lettuce with all my might
And accidentally cut right through my thumb

And you are speaking, though I don't know what you're saying
Even if you said you're the Boogie Man
That don't phase, don't phase on me
'Cause I want nothing more than
To make you shut up and say
"Hey listen, my thumb's bleeding
I need to get a Band-Aid"

I'm looking at the blood flow down my hand
Onto the floor and
Trying to identify the voice that's in my head
God, that's still you?!
Let me feel one more time how a Band-Aid feels, but
Someone cut that lettuce for the chef salad

And you keep speaking, I still don't know what you're saying
Even if you said you're the Boogie Man
That don't phase, don't phase on me
'Cause I want nothing more than
To make you shut up and say
"Hey listen, my thumb's bleeding
I need to get a Band-Aid"

I don't want a thing from you
I'm awfully tired of me waiting for
The story's end while my thumb's throbbing on and on
La da da da da da da da da
I just want a Band-Aid now

And you keep speaking, I still don't know what you're saying
Even if you said you're the Boogie Man
That don't phase, don't phase on me
'Cause I want nothing more than
To make you shut up and say
"Hey listen, my thumb's bleeding
I need to get a Band-Aid"
