Don't get so distressed If the good life won't arrive You've been reading S.O.S. When it's just your clock reading 5:05 And why are you so possessed By the thought that she got free And why are you figuring who's the best When just your luck ran out And she chose me We do not lie side by side And mock the thought of you And I don't take her hand and ask Is this what he used to do? 'cause I just want to free her from Your jails of jealous dreams 'cause at least a house when it's empty Stays clean I won't pretend That I was simply swayed It was a two way thing not a Three day fling No secrets kept, no truth betrayed And here's the house that held The nightmare that went on And you're sitting there wishing you'd never been born With that self-inflicted crown of thorns We do not lie side by side And mock the thought of you And I don't take her hand and ask Is this what he used to do? 'cause I just want to free her from Your jails of jealous dreams 'cause at least a house when it's empty Stays clean I won't pretend That I'm the savior of the innocent and bad But put two withered old blooms in a couple of rooms And they'll behave like lunatics And crave what makes them sad So here's a card that says Happy twenty-second birthday and I wish you were dead And here's a house that held A bevy of devils and an angel as well And you want what I've got When all I've got is guilt And a room that won't stay still Filled with pockets full of crumpled up money and A mantelpiece littered with bills 'cause at least a house when it's empty Stays clean
