Life is hard And so am i You'd better give me something So i don't die Novocaine for the soul Before i sputter out Life is white And i am black Jesus and his lawyer Are coming back Oh my darling Will you be here Before i sputter out Guess whose living here With the great undead This paint-by-numbers life Is fucking with my head Once again Life is good And i feel great 'cause mother says i was A great mistake Novocaine for the soul You'd better give me something To fill the hole Before i sputter out

The sun is out, the sky is blue There's not a cloud to spoil the view But it's raining, raining in my heart The weatherman says "clear today" He doesn't know you've gone away And it's raining, raining in my heart Oh, misery, misery What's gonna become of me I tell my blues they mustn't show But soon these tears are bound to flow 'Cause it's raining, raining in my heart It's raining, raining in my heart Oh, misery, misery What's gonna become of me I tell my blues they mustn't show But soon these tears are bound to flow 'Cause it's raining, raining in my heart Raining in my heart Raining in my heart Raining in my heart

You think I'm crazy or something Always following you around You say I'm a hopeless case Running obsession into the ground You call me a loser You call me a shadow and fool Look over your shoulder And you say I'm haunting you So why do you call me Why do you look for me Why do your eyes follow me the way they do You hold me responsible Yeah, so I stand accused Of causing all the trouble after highschool Between him and you Yeah, you call me a loser You call me a shadow and fool But I was a good girl Yeah, till you taught me What it means to be true So, why do you call me Why do you look for me Why do your eyes follow me the way they do Why do you call me I know you look for me Why do your eyes follow me the way they do

There you go and baby here am I Well you left me here so I could sit and cry Well, golly gee what have you done to me Well I guess it doesn't matter anymore Do you remember baby, last September How you held me tight, each and every night Ooh, baby, how you drove me crazy But I guess it doesn't matter anymore There ain't no use in me a-cryin' I've done everything and now I'm sick of trying I've thrown away my nights and wasted all my days over you Well you go your way and I'll go mine Now and forever 'till the end of time I'll find somebody new and baby We'll say we're through and you won't matter anymore There's no use in me a-cryin' I've done everything and now I'm sick of trying I've thrown away my nights and wasted all my days over you Now you go your way baby and I'll go mine Now and forever 'till the end of time I'll find somebody new and baby We'll say we're through and you won't matter anymore No you won't matter anymore You won't matter anymore You won't matter anymore

I can't remember the last time that I felt good for more than a week I mean really good for more than a month Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna cry Makes you wanna tear the stars from the sky And you're halfway there, but you're halfway down And you just can't get your ass out of town And you can't back up 'cause you're against the wall And it's the same goddamn thing I told you Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave And I think that's what's happened to me 'Cause I'm walking almost everyday blind And I'm searching through my past In a way that isn't healthy I'm hoping to find A good list of reasons to know that I'm special To know that I'm different, to know that I'm better Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna cry Makes you wanna tear the stars from the sky And you're halfway there, but you're halfway down And you just can't get your ass out of town And you can't back up 'cause you're against the wall And it's the same goddamn thing I told you Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave Look around Do you see anyone for themselves, like you see yourself So why do you still feel so all alone Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish How many pieces do you wish Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish How many pieces do you wish My mother told me to pick the very best one And you are it
