Gonna go back home again Gonna switch the light Come on, glow in the dark Just another night Will the sun bring some fun? Well, I can only hope Better living through desperation You alone can throne the moan Well, I can understand Still, you talk, and you don't fall But you're in quicksand Maybe soon, a brighter tune Will whistle through your lips Better living through desperation Better living through desperation One day, we'll find our way To a calm and tender place And you have a wobbly smile Etched upon your face Gonna go back home again Gonna switch the light on Gonna think about our time When these days are gone Better living through desperation Better living through desperation
