19th Nervous Breakdown


You're the kind of person
You meet at certain
Dismal, dull affairs

Center of a crowd
Talking much too loud
Running up and down the stairs

Well, it seems to me
That you have seen too much
In too few years

And though you've tried
You just can't hide
Your eyes are edged with tears

You better stop
Look around

Here it comes
Here it comes
Here it comes
Here it comes

Here comes your
Nineteenth nervous breakdown

When you were a child
You were a treated kind
But you were never brought up right

You were always spoiled
With a thousand toys
But still you cried all night

Your mother who
Neglected you
Owes a million dollars tax

And your father's still
Perfecting ways
Of making ceiling wax

You better stop
Look around

Here it comes
Here it comes
Here it comes
Here it comes

Here comes your
Nineteenth nervous breakdown

Oh, who's to blame
That girl's just insane
Well, nothing I do don't seem to work
It only seems to make the matters worse
Oh, please 

You were still in school
When you had that fool
Who really messed your mind

And after that
You turned your back
On treating people kind

On our first trip
I tried so hard to
Rearrange your mind

But after awhile
I realized you were
Disarranging mine 

You better stop
Look around

Here it comes
Here it comes
Here it comes
Here it comes

Here comes your
Nineteenth nervous breakdown

Oh, who's to blame
That girl's just insane
Well, nothing I do don't seem to work
It only seems to make the matters worse
Oh, please

When you were a child
You were a treated kind
But you were never brought up right

You were always spoiled
With a thousand toys
But still you cried all night

Your mother who
Neglected you
Owes a million dollars tax

And your father's still
Perfecting ways
Of making sealing wax

You better stop
Look around

Here it comes
Here it comes
Here it comes
Here it comes

Here comes your
Nineteenth nervous breakdown
Here comes your
Nineteenth nervous breakdown

Here comes your
Nineteenth nervous breakdown
Here comes your
Nineteenth nervous breakdown

Here comes your
Nineteenth nervous breakdown
