looking out from the darkness
and the shit keeps rolling on by
grabbing hold of my brain and i keep falling
it's past the point of shedding tears
it ain't no use to sit and cry
everybody knows the reason why
in the parade of damaged people now
it's the blind leading the screwed
laughing or crying we keep falling
another day goes by
another species dies
it ain't no use to sit and cry
everybody knows the reason why
gripped by this feeling
this terrible urgency
everything conceivable
it's an aspect of the permanent catastrophe
and it's killing me
at the slightest provocation now
my heart's skipping a beat
one thoughtful gesture and i'm falling
i see a light in you
but it runs me through
and all i can do is sit and cry
everybody knows the reason why
gripped by the feeling
this terrible urgency
everything is nothing
and it burns inside of me
gripped by this feeling
this terrible urgency
everything conceivable
is an aspect of
the permanent catastrophe
it's killing me
it's killing you
it's killing we
