lyrics

Here's a story bout a little dying boy
Who tried so hard to win their affection but all he got was some unwanted attention . All the roads which he had traveled, they all seemed slippery and moist. Desperate to find some relief, desperate to retain his voice, desperate measures and desperate actions left him vulnerable to friction, he tried to shield himself from the heat waves but it always seems to burn him, he carries around this heavy burden that he would often call his life. Somewhat agile. Somewhat tender, somehow never comprehending just what is it that makes them tick, just what is it that makes them run away why he's always feeling sick...
There are lots of things he doesn't know
One thing he does understand
Is that he's never worth a damn
Picks up the pieces that were scattered but he can't seem to put it together

It's sad x 10

Sit back and watch the whole thing unfold
The saddest story ever told



Here's a story bout a little dying boy who has a full time job at the circus though he never seemed to notice
Never getting a whiff of peace
A prisoner to his disease
Crippled by this mounting pressure that he would often put on his himself
Lost the wealth of self importance
Now he's drifting in a trance, he's been away for a couple days now
No one knows if he'll come back
Though they probably didn't notice
As they never have before
The things that he has done to pleas them will forever be ignored...

It's sad x 10

Sit back and watch the whole thing unfold
The saddest story ever told
