I call you every hour on the telephone. I work my fingers right down to the bone. I even got you a chihuahua so you wouldn't be alone. Got you you a trailer 'bout the size of Maine.
I was sitting in my room, dark and gray and crying. Someone in my life I fear was at the point of dying. A cold wind blew right up my spine, it was the break of dawn.
Wrote a song, it was wrong from it's very first conception. Seemed I struggled on every line. It wasn't fast, wasn't pretty, wasn't serious or witty. The song that didn't rhyme.
I can't do right when all I want to do is wrong. My conscience sounds alarm like the waning of a Chinese gong. I know about the punishment, I know about the law.
When I was 10, fell out of bed. Got three stitches in my head. It hurt like hell. I saw the blood, I felt the pain. I'd like to feel it once again. 'Cause I don't feel it.
I wake up every morning, Six o'clock, I'm right on time. I eat a low fat breakfast, I tie a perfect tie. I kiss the wife, I hug the kids, I pat the dogs and cats.
Somebody told me love's a beautiful thing. And when I found it all the bells would just ring. The sun would shine and all the birds would sing. Then I met you.
I'm so angry. I'm so angry. Something that you said burnin' in my head. I'm so angry. I'm so angry. Everything you do makes me furious with you. . It's like a poison to me.
I wish I could tell you something you didn't know. I wish I could give you something you didn't owe. I wish I could tell you a joke to make you smile.
