I don't think I'm goin out anymore
You better find some other body to comfort.
When I was trembling baby you was a diamond,
but you ain't a diamond no more.
So what you wanna say is my head is a hurricane
well l-l-l-let me sleep on that, uh huh, alright.
You say I'm hopelessly devoted to misery
well I don't wanna be so devoted no more, aw yeah
And all of my friends wanna get into heaven
and all I keep thinkin is "I wish you were here"
And I heard that they been callin me "the great depression"
Rollin and tumblin, breakin my own heart again
Shimmy shimmy shake baby right in my blood stream
I don't know what it was that got in my room.
My ticker-tape heart broken, everything shooken here
But I learned it could be worse.
So what you wanna say is my head is a weathervane
spinning with the wind chime, right.
Baby I was born on the fourth of July,
exploding like a firework, aw yeah
And all of my friends wanna get into heaven
and all I keep thinkin is "I wish you were here"
And I heard that they been callin me "the great depression"
Rollin and tumblin?
And all of my friends wanna get into heaven
and all I keep thinkin is "I wish you were here"
And I heard that they been callin me "the great depression"
Rollin and tumblin?
So should I take everything, all the temporary medicines?
Should I take your reds, your blues, and your cocaine?
Should I take something to try on the weekend?
Should I take anything or did you mean everything?
When I hit the wall, wrecked from it all
You put flowers down on the cold ground
and cry me a river
and assure me I'm crazy
while you question the answers
And then we lean on our best friends
Until you find better weather
And you take a vacation
I heard you got all my letters,
I signed "the great depression"
Baby rollin and tumblin.
