Hell = Other People

You say your life is a total waste

You told me on the fire escape

Just before you bummed a cigarette

Well, you've always been a high live-wire

Never straight, but so inspired

It kills me when I see you so upset

You're telling everyone

That I'm the stubborn one

But guess who broke the spell :

Hell is other people

To Hell with other people

Not a word from you in days,

I guess it's just your 'faucet' ways,

Running hot & cold and back again

But it's hard to keep an open mind

When you keep changing all the time,

Suddenly 'receiving', not 'to send'

It's always live & learn

But I'm the one who's turned

Now guess who broke the spell :

Hell is other people

To Hell with other people

You're a 5 on Saffir-Simpson's scale,

Sharper than a broken nail,

I'm glad I'm still alive to tell the tale

Hell is other people

To Hell with other people
