I never knew what everybody meant

By endless, hopeless, bleak despair

Until one day when I found out

The first time I ever left my house

It saw me and followed me home

And stayed with me for my whole life



For years and years I wandered the earth

Condemned to a life of bleak despair

Then, one day, I looked around and found it had disappeared



Hopeless bleak despair

It was always there

And then, one day, it disappeared

In a puff of smoke

In an unceremonious way

One day, it disappeared



All I had ever wanted in my life

Was only to be free of it

It drove away my family

It made me lose my job

Whenever anybody saw it

They'd say
