EVERYBODY HURTS

I’ll swallow my heart
I’ll swallow my pride
I try to hide feelings
deep down inside

I can’t let them out
under lock and key
they live entombed
somewhere inside me

I feel like a fool
That’s easy to do
Things that I had
You’d feel that way too

my guardian angel
is sick in bed
he no longer cares
he might think I’m dead

how dare I have want
how dare I have need
I’ll shove all that fluff
down deep inside of me

I once thirsted for gin
it never helped at all
you can’t put out a fire
with no water, just alcohol

Put troubles together
sweep them in a pile
put them under a rug
hide from them a while

I’ve tasted the ambrosia
that will never ever be mine
I hear the angels laughing
I’ll take that as a sign
