(to the tune of “California Dreamin’” by The Mamas & The Papas)

[Verse 1]
All the lights were bright (all the lights were bright)
And the room was loud (and the room was loud)
I forgot my list (left it on the ground)
I’d be safe and warm (I’d be safe and warm)
If I could stim right now (if I could stim right now)
Neurospicy people, just trying to get through somehow

[Verse 2]
Tried to make a call (tried to make a call)
But I spaced the plan (but I spaced the plan)
Scrolled for seven hours (like an octopus with hands)
I daydream in code (I daydream in code)
And I monologue with flair (and I monologue with flair)
Neurospicy people, just wanting folks to care

[Bridge]
All the “shoulds” and “oughts”
They echo in my brain
I masked so long
Now I’m dancing in the rain

[Verse 3]
Wrote this song at 3 (wrote this song at 3)
AM thoughts on blast (AM thoughts on blast)
I hyperfocused deep (but that deadline? Passed.)
But I wouldn’t trade (no, I wouldn’t trade)
This weird and wondrous mind (this weird and wondrous mind)
Neurospicy people, one of a brilliant kind

[Outro]
Neurospicy people…
Neurospicy people…
Neurospicy peeeeeeople…
Shining loud and bright.
