Good Day

I'd like to say hello and welcome you, good day, that is my name

Come here and sit down, don't you know that it's rare that I even came?

We could even go and take a walk you know I'll only be here for a day

(We could even go and take a walk I'll be here for a day) (be here for a day)

The bad thoughts will return and so you know that I can't really stay

Let us sing (ah, ah-ah)

Its name I hate to call it likes to say it's nothing

(It's nothing, I'm just tired)

It lives and breathes and it insists that it insists that it is something

(It's something, I'm suffering)

It never likes to speak or run or walk or breathe or eat (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

Instead it creeps at night and sneaks on in and festers while you sleep

Looking through glass eyes

Giving a few tries

Nothing goes right in its time

Kill all its bad dreams

Wonder 'bout no things

Circles and spirals in mind

But you know that this song is not about a no or yes or why

What's really what I say is that about a resignated sigh

So come along, I think I'm done, I think we're done, yes, this is done

The only question's whether it will be with pills or a gun

You want me to sing? Fine

Looking through glazed eyes

Helps you to realize

Nothing's gone right in your life

The meds aren't that helpful

It's hard to stay half-full

When all you feel's anger and spite

I thought you knew I knew 'bout

Why I want to die and say goodbye

I wanted you to know, I

Thought you knew but why and by and why

(Everyone loves a potato monkey)

(I stepped on gum, I stepped on gum, ohoho)

Fine I'll play the happy version (let us sing, let us sing)

Free from sadness and perversion (let us sing, let us sing)

Eyes be blocked from devastation (let us sing endlessly)

All to see is self-elation (carelessly, callously)

Birds and bees and television (let us see entropy)

Carboard boxes, x-ray vision (enter me, enter ye)

You don't want to see the truth (let us sing resentful pleas)

What's convenient will do (helplessly, relentlessly)

Telephones and silly games (let us read ABCs)

Periods and lots and lots of question marks (let us sing, let us sing)

(Let us sing, let us sing)

Oh, no...
