Sometimes I feel like pretending to end it all I could pack up my whole life into a paragraph or two Newspapers would say I was a good kid, Newspapers would say I was a tragedy But those newspapers will never know, Just like you never knew and you'll never know me So if they say I'm dead but they can't find the body, Wish me well. I'll be diggin' ditches in Kentucky Or a doctor up in Maine Driving buses in California First I'll live out a life and then I'll die; Then I'll live out another life and then I'll die And again and again and again.
