The story goes you know every detail |
|
Everybody knows the books that I'm in. |
|
The story goes I've been self-destructive |
|
Everybody knows that I'm steeped in sin |
|
Everybody knows I've got no sense of humour |
|
I'm too morose and too damn peculiar |
|
And the weakness shows... |
|
The story goes that I'd give up gladly |
|
The story goes this is a deadman's prose |
|
Everybody knows that I've fucked up badly |
|
I'm just hanging on by the length of my nose |
|
Everybody knows I've only got one song |
|
And it's much too slow and it's much too long |
|
And this is how it goes. |
|
Everybody knows this is some kinda diary |
|
The story goes in some unsecret code |
|
It's always later rather than sooner |
|
I'm always there when the punch line explodes |
|
The story goes I've got the world by the horns |
|
And all this from a well-dressed fawn |
|
And there's something gone wrong. |
