Lyrics

19th Nervous Breakdown

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.

You're the kind of person

You meet at certain dismal dull affairs

Center of a crowd, talking much too loud

Running up and down the stairs

Well, it seems to me that you have seen

Too much in too few years

And though you've tried you just can't hide

Your eyes are edged with tears

You better stop

Look around

Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes

Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

When you were a child, you were treated kind

But you were never brought up right

You were always spoiled with a thousand toys

But still you cried all night

Your mother who neglected you

Owes a million dollars tax

And your father's still perfecting ways

Of making sealing wax

You better stop

Look around

Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes

Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

Oh, who's to blame? That girl's just insane

Well, nothing I do don't seem to work

It only seems to make matters worse, oh, please

You were still in school when you had that fool

Who really messed your mind

And after that, you turned your back

On treating people kind

On our first trip, I tried so hard

To rearrange your mind

But after while, I realized

You were disarranging mine

You better stop

Look around

Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes

Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

Oh, who's to blame? That girl's just insane

Well, nothing I do don't seem to work

It only seems to make matters worse, oh, please

When you were a child, you were treated kind

But you were never brought up right

You were always spoiled with a thousand toys

But still you cried all night

Your mother who neglected you

Owes a million dollars tax

And your father's still perfecting ways

Of making sealing wax

You better stop

Look around

Here it comes

Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown
