Misery Songtext
von The Gadflys

Like a storm over the ocean
Searching for a reason why
Like a car crash in slow motion
I know that I′m gonna cry
It's a shame the way I hurt you
I know that I did you wrong
But there′s one thing that I've figured out
I know where I belong

A crazy river flowing
Sometimes carries you along
Like a hunger that keeps growing
And the current gets too strong
I don't say I didn′t choose to do
The things that I have done
But to see your dreams corrupted
I wouldn′t wish on anyone


Living every day
Trying to get ahead
Trying to get some money
Get a little respect
How you gonna make it
Faking it sometimes
Trying to feel important
Staying in a line

Well everything that happens
They say happens for a reason
And I know many people
Seem to believe in
A higher power
Watching every hour
Capable of absolution
That helps them get through
Doesn't help me
When I′m in misery

Like a parched and tired traveler
Wandering the desert lands
Lured on by watery visions
That will only turn to sand

I tried hard to forget you
I even found myself another girl
I took it in with my deception
But I couldn't fool myself


I remember a time not so long ago
You told me little darling that you loved me so
It′s been a year now since you went away
I wind up missing you every day

Everything that happens
They say happens for a reason
And I know many people
Seem to believe in
A higher power
Watching every hour
Capable of absolution
That helps them get through

It's no good to me
When I′m in misery
It's no good to me
When I'm in misery
