Hi, how are you? Every morning he got up Dreading each moment he had to be awake He'd look at the floor and scribble on gum wrappers He never found a better way to joke around The clock would tick and time went slow And there wasn't anywhere he wouldn't go To avoid having to see anyone He'd sit in a chair and he'd lean against the wall It just didn't seem to matter much at all But late at night, he had a savior In his sleep, in his dreams She came to him and she said "Poor you, poor you No one understands you Poor you, poor you" And every word that everyone would say Got mumbled up in his head Like mumble-jumble and everywhere he went It seemed everyone was saying to him "Blah, blah, blah" But late at night, he had a mistress In his dreams, in his sleep And she would say "Poor you, poor you No one understands you Poor you, poor you" This story, though not well told Is not that old It's not that funny, it's not that great But I know it to be true Because late at night, I have an angel In my dreams, in my sleep And as she runs her fingers through my hair As I lay on her lap and she says "Poor you, poor you No one understands you Poor you, poor you"

Big business monkey Nothing's funny Big business monkey Everything's money You sold cheeseburgers with that cashier's smile He runs his house like a Burger King manager And the only jokes he knows Are the ones that'll put you down Big business monkey You'll take over the world And you can have it now But you can't take it with you And everything you cling to will rot And everything you do will be forgot By everyone you ever tried to impress

This is a pig *Oink, oink, oink, oink, oink* Do you hear the frog? *Croak* How are you?

I see your face I picture myself with a guitar I see your face I picture myself with a guitar

Despair came knocking at my door And I let her in for a while She sat on the couch and began smoking She said nothing Suddenly, I felt tired I began to feel tired And all of the sudden The room seemed dingy and dirty Despair came knocking And I let her in for a while

I am a baby in my universe I'll live forever I am a baby in my universe I'll live forever Ooh, I'm only twenty-two I'll live forever Ooh, I'm only twenty-two I'll live forever Forever I am a baby in my universe I am a baby in my universe I'll live forever Ooh, I'm only twenty-two I'll live forever Ooh, I'm only twenty-two I'll live forever, forever Forever Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh

There ain't no color in the sky Anymore And I don't feel much like singing Can't see what for And there ain't no comfort in this life Anymore All that I can see that's ahead of me Looks like such a chore Maybe something will happen To make it all better, better Maybe something will come along And make me happy, happy There ain't no fun in living Anymore And I don't feel much like living Can't see what for There ain't no life left in me, I feel a bit funny Like a ghost with nowhere to go My hope is gone and left me A desperate man There’s no spunk left in me I feel so hollow in me So empty, so empty, so empty, so empty A big chunk of what I was is gone And left me a desperate man
