lyrics

this is one of the saddest stories I have ever known
saddest thing about this story is that it is my own
I am working over time on my undersized granite gravestone
all alone

this is one of the saddest movies that I have ever seen
the saddest thing about the movie is it will never screen
a figment of my imagination mixed with a dose of self-flagellation
and irritation

perhaps the main character is acting out of character
and perhaps the towers of babylon were never meant to last all that long

this is one of the saddest songs I ever wrote
the sadness trickles down from the stem of every note
tomorrow I will look like a selfish idiot and quickly write the antidote
the antidote
