Biografía:
The Electric Eels were formed by John Morton (guitar), Dave "E" McManus (vocals, clarinet), and Brian McMahon (guitar), all ex-pupils of Lakewood High School, Cleveland, in 1972. The three had been to see a Captain Beefheart gig and been unimpressed enough by the support band to decide that they could do better themselves. Morton was also influenced by free jazz: "I remember listening to Ornette Coleman, John Cale, Sun Ra and Albert Ayler. That's what the Eels was supposed to be, but we didn't really understand it.

[Intro]
E F F# G
[Verses]
E F
Wake up, wake up, at the bottom of the stairs,
F# G
Laid out prone, so vividly unaware,
E F
Punctured out neural tissue, what can it be,
F# G
You're oh so unhappy, to be so unhappy
E F
It's anxiety, and it's tearing you to shreds,
F# G
Don't die yet, baby, you forgot to make the beds,
E F
It's anxiety, and it's really gonna kill you,
F# G
It's anxiety, killing you like slow poison
[Chorus]
E F F# G
Anxiety, anxiety,
E F F# G
Anxiety, oh woe is me
A A# B C
ohhh ohhhh ohhh
A A# B C

[INSTRUMENTAL WITH UNHINGED GUITAR SOLO]
A A# B C [X 4]
[Verses]
E F
Now pretend it's got a hold on, bring in the night,
F# G
Breathe on the lines, I would love to be paralyzed,
E F
What is the matter, what can it be,
F# G
You’re oh so unhappy, to be unhappy
E F
Maybe you got the rabies or maybe its the flu,
F# G
It's gonna drive you crazy, 'cause you don't know what to do,
E F
It's Anxiety, and it's really really killing you
F# G
It's Anxiety, killing you like very slow poison
[Chorus]
E F F# G
Anxiety, anxiety,
E F F# G E
Oh woe is me [false ending]
