Why's life so boring when I'm not drinking?
Why is everything so complicated
As soon as I start thinking about nothing?
Oh any old drunk will tell you why
It's far better to dry your eyes
Than cry a river so deep that it washes you away
Why's everyone in such a rush to go nowhere?
They're always taking things to somewhere
That they've never been before
Oh any old pilot will tell you why
You might as well just hang your head and cry
Sadness follows you like a shadow everywhere you go
It's a funny story
Funny story
Funny story
It's a funny story to tell
It's a funny story
Funny story
Funny story
It's a funny story to tell
Oh well
