They Might Be Giants - Hopeless Bleak Despair текст песни

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

All this 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

Theyd say get out of here

For years and years I wandered the earth

Sick of my life, looking forward to death

The one day I looked around and found

It had disappeared

All this 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

For years and years I wandered the earth

Until I died and went to hell but my

Despair had ascended to heaven

Thats how I finally got rid of it
