Tell me why I feel so bad, honey

TV's flat and nothing is funny


I get sad and stuck in a cone of silence


Like a big balloon with nothing for ballast

Labeled like a bottle for Alice


Drink me or I'll drown in a sea of giants




And tell me, "Baby, baby, I love you


It's nonstop memories of you


It's like a video of you playing

It's all loops of seven-hour kisses


Cut with a couple near-misses


Back to the scene of the actor saying:

'Tell me, baby, baby – why do I feel so bad?'"





Tell me why I feel so bad, honey

Fighting left me plenty of money


But didn't keep the promise of memory lapses


Like a building that's been slated for blasting

I'm the proof that nothing is lasting


Counting to eleven as it collapses




And tell me, "Baby, baby, I love you


It's nonstop memories of you


It's like a video of you playing

It's all loops of seven-hour kisses


Cut with a couple near-misses


Back to the scene of the actor saying:

'Tell me, baby, baby – why do I feel so bad?'"





Baby, baby, I love you

Baby, baby, I love you


But baby, I feel so bad
