They Might Be Giants - Hopeless Bleak Despair lyrics

i never knew what everybody meant by endless, hopeless bleak despair Until one day when i found out The first time i ever left my house It saw me and followed me home And stayed with me for my whole life For years and years i wandered the earth Condemned to a life of bleak despair Then one day i looked around and found It had disappeared All this bleak despair It was always there And then one day it disappeared In a puff of smoke In an unceremonious way One day it disappeared All i had ever wanted in my life was only to be free of it It drove away my family It made me lose my job Whenever anybody saw it They'd say get out of here For years and years i wandered the earth Sick of my life, looking forward to d**h The one day i looked around and found It had disappeared All this bleak despair It was always there And then one day it disappeared In a puff of smoke In an unceremonious way One day it disappeared For years and years i wandered the earth Until i died and went to hell but my Despair had ascended to heaven That's how i finally got rid of it
