Trouble comes fast
And leaves too slow
That's how I knew
That she would finally go
It's all dragged on now
Far too long
The rooms were too small
And words too strong, so
Chorus:
Can you understand my joy?
Can you understand my joy?
I feel like a little boy
Can you understand my joy?
I count my blessings
Slow and sure
My memory's not as good
As it was before
They cut off the lights
And the phone calls too
The landlord is knocking
And he might break through
Chorus
Bridge:
I got a plastic leg
In the last short war
You know I would still fight
But they don't want me no more
So I'm all set
With a month of pills
Just one more shot
And there's no more chills, so
Chorus
