Lyrics
Sad Sad Sad

Sad sad sad sadness
Sad sad sad sadness
Sad sad sad sadness
Keep away the sadness
Sad sad sad sadness
Sad sad sad sadness
Sad sad sad sadness
Keep away the sadness
A magic spell a tinkling bell
The flickering of a candle
A childhood rhyme that brings a childhood memory
And I can hide my head
Underneath my blankets
Hide my head no one can find me
A bottle brown
A wall of sound
A laser strobe light flashing
A pounding bass
A sea of faces just like me
And I can lift my head
Set my body dancing
Lift my head no one can see me
Sad sad sad sadness
Sad sad sad sadness
Sad sad sad sadness
Keep away the sadness
Sad sad sad sadness
Sad sad sad sadness
Sad sad sad sadness
Keep away the sadness
Shoulda known I'd never get away with loving you
Shoulda known you'd make a getaway with someone new
Now I love whatever comes my way and helps me through my life, life, life
A lovers kiss a sweet caress a whispered yes in darkness
A tangled bed an armegeddon in the sheets
And I can rest my head
On my sweet imagination
Rest my head no one can hurt me
Sad sad sad sadness
Sad sad sad sadness
Sad sad sad sadness
Keep away the sadness
Sad sad sad sadness
Sad sad sad sadness
Sad sad sad sadness
Keep away the sadness
