Woke up one morning
Fell out of the bed
Walked over to the window
And to the day I said that
From today on
There would be no more you and I
Then a passing seagull swooped down
And crapped in my eye
I jumped in the shower
To wash it out
The soap fell off the shelf
And slipped straight into my mouth
Oh things could be better
I thought to myself
But at least from today
I would be alone by myself
Think you're the worst person I ever met
Two weeks after I met you, you tried to kill my pet
And half an hour later I caught you flirting with the vet
Said I should be committed, it was insane that I was upset
Moved into my house, invited you into my home
Didn't know you were going to bring with you 50 garden gnomes
And your cooking is terrible, even to those guys made of stone
You've got no class, you even think beer should be served without foam
It's not even as if I could say that you're cute
The truth is that your skin resembles a beat up old leather boot
And I kiss you with open eyes, it looks like I'm pashing a newt
And believe me you are wrong when you do that it doesn't sound like a flute
So I'm walking out; I'm walking out
It's going to be a brand new day
I'm just going to fly away
Being without you is the way it's going to stay
So I walked down the street, waiting to catch the bus
The brakes failed and it smashed into all of us
And I was sped off to hospital in a blind rush
They say history don't repeat but the driver got shat on by a thrush
He let go of the wheel; we left the tar seal
And when I awoke nothing below by nose I could feel
I remember thinking to myself, man this just can't be real
That was when the earthquake struck and I was crushed by a girder made of steel
One week later they dug me out
They showed me all my broken bones on the x-ray printout
But then they ran out of money and sent me home with just a milk-stout
As I was walking down my street someone asked me for a donation for the boy scouts.
As I walked in the door, what did I see
You on the couch looking fed up at me
Turned to ask me 'Where have you been' angrily
I just gave you a smile and offered to make you a cup of tea
So I'm coping out; I'm coping out
Gonna be no brand new day
I'm just going to put all my dreams away
Being with you is just easier than walking away
Thought I was walking out; thought I was walking out
Thought there was going to be a brand new day
What the hell do I know anyway?
Being with you is the way things are going to stay
