[Chorus] Something's gonna drag me down soon- that's clear A memory of some sort a child's tear Something's gonna drag me down before too long Maybe a photo, I don't know, maybe this song [Verse 1] February can be real brutal But this year we're getting lots of sunny days Life has its way of pampering you sometimes In meaningless and stupid and pathetic sort of ways I've had some new found creativity flowing through me A buzz of opinions and ideas gushing through me Most days and most nights are a lot less gloomy It's like I look at myself and I see a new me Well maybe 'new' isn't exactly what I mean Because it's more like I feel that what I'm actually seeing Is a freer me an easier me not a bitter me a sweeter me The kind of me i could have been if this wouldn't have Happened or if my heart was tin But then again in the back of my head I know this can't last there's a giant slope ahead It's all a matter of when i begin the descent To the depths that no one can mend [Chorus] Something's gonna drag me down soon- that's clear A memory of some sort a child's tear Something's gonna drag me down before too long Maybe a photo I don't know Maybe this song Maybe this song [Verse 2] Going to a party later tonight Don't really want to but i should be polite To the people who invited me- friends of mine Sometimes I have pictures of them in my mind At your funeral all red eyed and teary Tonight they're gonna be all chit chat n' cheery At your funeral with stubble n' a trembling bottom lip Tonight at the party they'll all attempt to look hip Hop around, maybe dance a little Have a drink eye a woman and advance a little Do just what i would have done once upon a time Before the mutant cell you were hosting committed its crime Before it picked you in your prime- but that's enough! Please! please no more of this stuff! These thoughts and myself just like bonnie n' clyde The party's starting I better get ready so I don't miss my ride [Chorus] Something's gonna drag me down soon- that's clear A memory of some sort a child's tear Something's gonna drag me down before too long Maybe a photo, i don't know, maybe this… Something's gonna drag me down soon that's clear A menu a street sign a child's tear Something's gonna drag me down before too long Maybe this party tonight who knows… maybe this song, probably this song
