Craig Finn - I Was Doing Fine (Then A Few People Died) Lyrics

The little hitch in her voice
When she answered the call
She said "Some nights I get so paranoid
I wish I wasn't involved"

It was the last of the bottle
The second bottle of the evening
She said "It's hard these days
For a girl to trust anyone"

I've been so lonely lately, I went to the movies
I did too much in one sitting
She said "It's hard for me to concentrate
With all the killing and kissing"

I was the first to get married
I was the last one to know
And I went down in the darkness
I came to at someone's show

There was this kid with a diamond
There was this safe place to hide
I was doing fine and then a few people died
I was doing alright, then a few people died

It was the last of the bottle
It was the third of the evening
She said "Some nights I wonder
If anything means anything"

I never said I was Jesus
Some nights I keep it a secret
Some nights I keep it a secret
Some nights I try to get noticed

Some nights I try to see Jesus
I do it by crossing my eyes
I was doing fine then a few people died
I was doing alright then a few people died

It was the last of the bottle
It was the third of the evening
She said "Some nights I wonder
If anything means anything"
I never said I was Jesus
Some nights I keep it a secret

Some nights I keep it a secret
Some nights I try to get noticed
Some night I keep it a secret
Some nights I try to get noticed
