Hopeless Bleak Despair Lyrics - They Might Be Giants

I never knew what everybody meant 

By endless, hopeless, bleak despair 

Until one day when I found out 

The first time I ever left my house 

It saw me and followed me home 

And stayed with me for my whole life 

For years and years I wandered the earth 

Condemned to a life of bleak despair 

Then, one day, I looked around and found it had disappeared 

Hopeless bleak despair 

It was always there 

And then, one day, it disappeared 

In a puff of smoke 

In an unceremonious way 

One day, it disappeared

All I had ever wanted in my life 

Was only to be free of it 

It drove away my family 

It made me lose my job 

Whenever anybody saw it 

They'd say "get out of here" 

For years and years I wandered the earth 

Sick of my life, looking forward to death 

Then, one day, I looked around and found it had disappeared 

Hopeless bleak despair 

It was always there 

And then, one day, it disappeared 

In a puff of smoke 

In an unceremonious way 

One day, it disappeared 

Hopeless bleak despair 

Hopeless bleak despair 

Hopeless bleak despair

For years and years I wandered the earth 

Until I died and went to hell 

But my despair had ascended to heaven 

That's how I finally got rid of it 

Hopeless bleak despair 

It was always there 

And then, one day, it disappeared 

In a puff of smoke 

In an unceremonious way 

One day, it disappeared 

Hopeless bleak despair 

It was always there 

And then, one day, it disappeared 

In a puff of smoke 

In an unceremonious way 

One day, it disappeared
