lyrics

I’ve never felt better I’ve never felt worse
I’ve never felt better I’ve never felt worse
Never felt better I’ve never felt worse
Like a president riding in the heart of a hearse

These are the best of times
And Russia in the winter of our discontent
I’ve got some of sun and wine
Swimming in a sea of contemplative shit
I’m in a jungle fight
Scrapping with the creditors who fund my life
Oh but I’m doing fine…

I’ve never felt better I’ve never felt worse
Like a millionaire with an empty purse
I said never felt better I’ve never felt worse
A diver diving in a pool of dirt

We used to be so young
Chewing up the world like bits of bubblegum
But now I turn and run
Shaking like a leaf under the laughing sun
My life’s a smoking gun…go write a requiem

You’ve got no idea what I’m going through
I’ve got no idea what you’re going through
‘Til we walk a mile in each others shoes

Is this our Waterloo?
We got a little baby and her eyes are blue
What are we gonna do?
We try to find a minute but our life’s a zoo
I think I’ll lean on you…but then you’re broken too

You’ve got no idea what I’m going through
I’ve got no idea what you’re doing too

I’ve never felt better I’ve never felt worse
I said I’ve never felt better I’ve never felt worse
A millionaire dying with an empty purse
A president riding in the heart of a hearse
Yeah, a diver diving in a pool of dirt

I’ve got everything I need, I’ve got nothing that I want
I’ve got everything I need, I’ve got nothing that I want
I’ve got everything I need, you’ve got nothing that I want
Nothing that I want
Nothing that I want

A birthday present with a wicked curse (welcome to the maze underneath my shirt)

I’d say I’ve got it all
With everything to lose it’s cool to be afraid
I don’t feel safe at all
Wake up every morning in a blissful state
Temptation’s everywhere
Diabetic dreams of stealing birthday cake
A sugar high nightmare

I used to be so young
Chewing up the world like sticks of bubblegum

And though I’m going blind
Somewhere in the distance I can feel a light

I’m in a field of light
Laughing as the children try to fly their kites
And though I’m losing sight

I’ve go a perfect life

I’ve got everything I need, I’ve got nothing that I want

Most days I gotta smile (sick of it)
Sweating in the bunker trying to make the rent
I’m feeling ill and fine
