I heard about your happiness And all the plans that you're involved in Since you're gone you'd be impressed To know i, too, have been evolving But i don't think you comprehend I've been suffering Yeah, i've been suffering Guess i'll be suffering up around the bend This love is a cancer in me I can feel it advancing in me This fire it is my light in the world Well, i found me a new friend I've been suffering Yeah, i've been suffering Guess i'll be suffering up around the bend I hung around in a leather bar They threw me on the cement Slept all night in my plastic car Got in an accident I brushed by you in the supermart And i had me a touch of what's real It was real when you crushed me with your steel Black clouds roll through my mind Who says anyway these halls are sovereign? I am a hater of the human kind So keep away, this heart's not softening No, i don't think that it's the end of this suffering Yeah, i've been suffering I've been suffering I've been suffering And i'll be suffering up around the bend
