Lyrics
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I feel worried mostly all the time;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I’m worn down by the drama, the continuous lyin’.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">He grabbed all that was good, and he spun it around --</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Turned us inside out and upside down.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I’m countin’ the days, countin’ the days until he’s gone.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"><strong><em> </em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I keep holding my breath, fearing the worst.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">We used to be blessed, now we’re majorly cursed. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I’m tip-toein’ on egg shells – or maybe hot coals -- </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Praying that things don’t spin out of control. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I’m countin’ the days, countin’ the days until he’s gone.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"><strong><em> </em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">At first I believed it was a bad, bad dream</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">And that soon he would just disappear,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">But I was deceived – pretty badly it seems --</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">‘Cause he’s lasted for weeks and for months and for years.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Like an innocent man in a prison cell</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I keep scratchin’ off days from my sentence in Hell.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I keep hoping ‘gainst hope there’ll be some miracle</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Or my head may explode. Maybe its hopeless, but still</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I’m countin’ the days, countin’ the days until he’s gone.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> It takes a worried man to sing a worried song; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> But I doubt that I’m suff’ring alone. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> If you feel like me, come on and sing along -- </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> A keening, communal, cathartic, cacophonous moan.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I feel worried mostly all the time . . .</span></p>
