lyrics

To calm the stress I found myself a lady of the night
But hours turned to years, so I made the girl my wife
While coming home from work I found a note left by the stairs
I read it softly to myself while holding back a tear
“Just thought you should know, that baby, I’m not here.”

I came across a beggar who was looking for a change
I threw a nickel on the ground and spat into his face
I told him “you should leave before they take you to the chair”
Then he just started laughing, then he whispered in my ear
“Just thought you should know, that baby, I’m not here.”

After my lobotomy they kept me in a cell
The doctors wrote my family to say I’d been doing well
But in my head I stood before the nation as they cheered
Then I would say unto them before I would disappear
“Just thought you should know, that baby, I’m not here.”
(I never was, or ever will be, I never was, I’ll never be again)
Then it all became so clear
And now there’s nothing left to fear
