God, I dreamed there was an angel
Who could hear me through the wall
As I cried out, like in Latin,
"This is so not life at all.
Help me out-out-of this nightmare"
Then I heard her silver call.
She said: "Just give it time, kid.
I come to one and all"
She said: "Give me that hand, please,
And the itch you can't control.
Let me teach you how to handle
All the sadness in your soul.
Oh, we'll work that silver magic
Then we'll aim it at the wall"
She said: "Love may make you blind kid,
But I wouldn't mind at all."
It's the bitch of living (bitch, just the bitch)
With nothing but your hand. (just the bitch, yeah)
Just the bitch of living
As someone you can't stand
See, each night, it's like fantastic
Tossing, turning, without rest,
'Cause my days at the piano
With my teacher and her breasts;
And the music's like the one thing
I can even get at all
And those breasts!
I mean, God, please just let those apples fall
It's the bitch of living (bitch, ah, ah, ah)
With nothing going on (nothing going on)
Just the bitch of living,
Asking: what went wrong?
Do they think we want this?
Oh- who knows?
See, there's showering in gym class
Bobby Maler, he's the best
Looks so nasty in those khakis
God, my whole life's like some test.
Then there's Marianna Wheelan,
As if she'd return my call.
It's like just kiss some ass, man,
Then you can screw 'em all.
Ah
It's the bitch of living (it's the bitch of living)
And living in your head. (it's the bitch)
It's the bitch of living
And sensing God is dead.
It's the bitch of living (you watch me, just watch me)
And trying to get ahead. (I'm calling you one day)
It's the bitch of living
Just getting out of bed. (all will know)
It's the bitch of living (living, living)(all will know)
And getting what you get.
Just the bitch of living
And knowing this is it.
God, is this it?
This can't be it
Oh God, what a bitch!
