|Our frank and open
Deep conversations
They get me nowhere
They bring me down, so
Give it a rest, won't you?
Give me a cigarette
God give me patience
Just no more conversation
 
Give us a drink
And make it quick
Or else I'm gonna be sick
Sick all over
Your frankly vulgar
Red pullover
Now see how the colours blend
 
Our frank and open
Deep conversations
They get me nowhere
They just bring me down, so
Give it a rest, won't you?
Now will you just give over
The world may be ending
But look, I'm only human
 
So Give us a drink
And make it quick
Or else I'm gonna be sick
All over
Your frankly vulgar
Red pullover
Now see how the two colours blend
My friend
Won't somebody...
 
...Won't somebody stop me
From thinking, from thinking all the time
About everything
Oh, somebody
From thinking all the time
So deeply
So bleakly
So bleakly all the time
About everything?
(Who I am)
(How I end up here)
(Somebody, somebody, somebody...)
Somebody stop me
From thinking
From thinking all the time
So bleakly, so bleakly
From thinking all the time

Lyrics

Our frank and open

Deep conversations They get me nowhere They bring me down, so Give it a rest, won't you? Give me a cigarette God give me patience Just no more conversation

Give us a drink And make it quick Or else I'm gonna be sick Sick all over Your frankly vulgar Red pullover Now see how the colours blend

Our frank and open Deep conversations They get me nowhere They just bring me down, so Give it a rest, won't you? Now will you just give over The world may be ending But look, I'm only human

So Give us a drink And make it quick Or else I'm gonna be sick All over Your frankly vulgar Red pullover Now see how the two colours blend My friend Won't somebody...

...Won't somebody stop me From thinking, from thinking all the time About everything Oh, somebody From thinking all the time So deeply So bleakly So bleakly all the time About everything? (Who I am) (How I end up here) (Somebody, somebody, somebody...) Somebody stop me From thinking From thinking all the time So bleakly, so bleakly From thinking all the time
