It's the saddest thing you'll ever see
Have I not been right so far, tell me
When the mind collapses and turns to gravy
A thick brown mud is all you see
I don't know it, but I know somebody
I don't know it, but I've seen the movie
I could call you up, tell you what I've got is the drop that will make the stone hollow
'Cause the story's not over, bu*tercup, it is merely beginning
Kings and queens will come and pa**
Kings and queens will come and pa**
And there's always a bigger ocean to swim
There's always a better pond to drown yourself in
Wake up, wake up, wake up, you're dreaming
I see nightmares dancing underneath your eyelids
So come on, take that frown, turn it upside-down
I will forget myself and play the happy clown
Like we balance on a rope above the rooftops
And if we fall, there's nobody to catch us
But there's always a bigger reason to see
Always something else, something bigger than me
So I burn my belly with gallons of coffee
Trying to keep up some
Kind of happy face in this f**ed-up place
But the story goes on and on and on
