A distant thunder rumbling miles away, I’m wearing someone else’s shoes The air is thick the sky’s a greenish gray, I’ve got nothing left to lose So I covered up the angel and I said goodbye, my tongue’s tied up I don’t know why Probably cause I told her that I never lied, but I got sins I can’t deny Walking down the alley with the backpack attack, stepping over used up haystacks The pretense vanished and the crust starts to crack, we come to shake the shack So I covered up the angel and I said goodbye, my tongue’s tied up I don’t know why Probably cause I told her that I never lied, but I got sins I can’t deny Here come the dead muse blues… Shed 30 pounds I haven’t eaten for days, I’m simply wasting away The world is burning no one cares that you’re sick, you’ve got to pay to play So I covered up the angel and I said goodbye, my tongue’s tied up and I know why Probably cause I told her that I never lied, but I got sins I can’t deny Here come the dead muse blues…

Don’t tell me that things are going to get better, I said don’t tell me that things are going to get better Don’t tell me that things will be OK cause I know better than that, I said don’t tell me that things are going to get better The mortgage is late the truck’s not running right, I got a toothache and my daughter snuck out last night I told the band the song was in ‘G’ but they know better than to listen to me, well don’t tell me that things are going to get better I know the true hero he goes on with the business of living, in the face of this meaninglessness I though that line was mine but I lifted it from Leonard Cohen, aw shit I went to see old Valentine to get my future fixed, but Jupiter was out of line so she told me to split I’m running out of options running out of breath, the right one got me and so did the left, don’t tell me that things are going to get, don’t tell me that things are going to get, don’t tell me that things are going to get better
