the troubled life

I'm having one of those days

where everything goes wrong

I don't know why I'm surprised

I should have known it all along

my teeth hurt, my head aches

and my good luck's turned bad

and bad luck is the only friend

that I've ever had

          what can I do?

          gather up my playthings

          and run back home to you

          I don't think so

          the troubled life is the only life I know

I want to go back to bed

and hide under the covers

and dream of days that came before

with assorted friends and lovers

but responsibility calls

I answer without thinking

I need to find a new way out

maybe I'll start drinking

          what can I say?

          should I try again tomorrow

          or is it just another day?

          I don't think so

          the troubled life will never go away

someday the sun will shine again

and I'll turn myself around

to face a world where everything

is dressed in safe and sound

but for now I'll standing still

while the world spins around me

maybe you can rescue me

I'm so glad you found me

          where can I go?

          should I change my appearance

          and be someone who won't show?

          I don't think so

          the troubled life's the only life I know
