Lyrics

Sad Sad Sad Sad (And Far Way From Home)

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Houdini's still stuck in that Doctorow book

The one place he can never escape

And your voice on the phone

Is like one of those paintings where everything loses its shape

And the girl across the street, she's as light on her feet

As sunlight bouncing off chrome

And I'm sad sad sad sad and far away from home

Once I was standing on a Dublin street corner

I heard a fiddler pierce the veil of illusion

And once I got plastered at my best friend's bar mitzvah

Once I lived in perfect confusion

Oh and once I was eleven, once I was just atoms

Once I was a hilltop in Rome

Now I'm sad sad sad sad and far away from home

Oh Li dee dee dee dee dee dee de dee dee de dee dee

Now a kiss is just a flower that a bee could return from

And do his little dance at the hive

Perhaps it's worth mentioning, as I write this song down

I am the happiest fucker alive

For the seashore cries out for the painter to paint it

And the wind whips the water into foam

And I'm sad sad sad sad and far away from home

Yes I am sad sad sad sad and I'm far away from home

So Li dee dee dee dee dee dee de dee dee de dee dee
