lyrics

Well he shows up at the shows
Brings roses for all the girls now
He knows not how to approach
Show he throws them at their heads

His brain is lost somewhere in space (He's a rock n' roll mental case)
His brain is lost somewhere in space (He's a rock n' roll mental case)
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Dyed his hair red, thinks he's cool
Everyone thinks he's a fool now
Works as a local pool cleaner
Just a jerk tryin' to fit in

His brain is lost somewhere in space (He's a rock n' roll mental case)
His brain is lost somewhere in space (He's a rock n' roll mental case)
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Guess I gotta let him know
That he's not a Ramone
He's got a bone to pick with everyone

It's no fun bein' around
His negative attitude
So quit comin' round here dude
