I did lose my cradle to the flood And I did lose my tenure to the rain I have met with hard times as have you It's good to know you feel the same way too I have walked the boards of empty halls Never having reached their open doors I have seen more than I've cared to view It's good to know you feel the same way too Man it aint no joke how things can get so out of whack Life has a sense of humor It is black I have been thrown out on colder nights I have been arrested at midday I have had my bells rung as have you It's good to know you feel the same way too Why does bad news have to be so frank? Volcanoes! Cancer! Asteroids! Septic tanks! Sometimes I feel like a bird in a church I get the snakes like a ship on the sea Sometimes I feel like a motherless child I aint got no mother that's probably why I can't remember ever feeling worse It's good to know you feel the same way too
