lyrics

Better me than no one
Better me than you
Cause God knows it’s a dirty job, but
It’s just what I do
I know this world needs a feather
To lighten up these days
Well, my life is just a running gag, so just
Throw your stones my way

And I’ll bend myself over backwards
I’ll break myself in two
And the only thing that you have to do
Is laugh at my wounds

I have faith in humor
I always laugh when it hurts
No one will see my pain, cause I
Make the best of the worst
And I throw myself out of reason
I throw myself at the bus
But what doesn’t kill me makes it funny when
I bite the dust

And I’ll bend myself over backwards
I’ll break myself in two
And the only thing that you ever do
Is laugh at my wounds

And everything around this place, well it
Seems to fall on me
But maybe I’ll get lucky and stand right where
The only window will be
And I’ve been walking lonely
I’ve been walking alone
But maybe I’ll get lucky and find my place
On this lonely road

Where I’ll bend myself over backwards
I’ll break myself in two
And the only thing that you ever do
Is laugh at my…

And I’ll bend myself over backwards
I’ll break myself in two
And the only thing that you ever do
Is laugh at my wounds
