"Better Living Through Desperation" lyrics - EELS

Gonna go back home again
Gonna switch the light
Poor Mark, glow in the dark
Just another night
Will the sun bring some fun?
Well, I can only hope

Better living through desperation

You're alone and prone to moan
Well, I can understand
Standin' tall and you don't fall
But you're in quicksand
Maybe soon, a brighter tune
Will whistle through your lips

Better living through desperation
Better living through desperation

One day, we'll find our way
To a kindly tender place
And you'll have a whopping smile
Etched upon your face

Gonna go back home again
Gonna switch the light on
Gonna think about our time
When these days are gone

Better living through desperation
Better living through desperation
