lyrics

I feel bad when I’m rushing for the late train
And I feel bad when I’m standing in a crowd
I feel bad when I’m stuck inside my own brain
And I feel bad any time that I get out
I don’t mean to cause you heartache
I’m not trying to make a show
I’m not saying it for its own sake
I just thought you’d like to know that I feel bad

And I feel bad when I’m dancing with my baby
I feel bad when I’m grooving on the street
I feel bad when I’m laying low and lazy
And I feel bad with all the people that I meet
It’s just a cockroach in the punchbowl
It’s not a plague upon the land
I’m not trying to fill the pothole
I’m just trying to understand
There is a vortex that I dance to
There is a weight I move toward
I track the cyclones on the bayou
Oblivion is my reward
No need to struggle against the quicksand
Or drag my body through the snow
I have a showdown with a dead hand
Before I shuffle down below

All the prisoners in the jails know
Like all the monks in all the world
The politicians and the pimps see
The arc of human history bends towards misery
There’s a shooter at the campground
There is poison in the well
They’re turning cartwheels at the impound
There’s a body in the swell
I’m not trying to shake the fault lines
Or drag the demons up from hell
I’m no canary in the coal mine
Or the martyr in the cell

Feel like the runner on the treadmill
Or the hamster in the maze
The constant hammer at the anvil
The accumulation of the days
This is a vortex I can dance to
This is a mass I move toward
There is a cyclone on the bayou
Another stillbirth in the yard
There is a cockroach in the punchbowl
There is a plague upon the land
I’m not trying to fill the pothole
I’m just trying to understand
