[Verse 1] You're the kind of person You meet at certain dismal dull affairs Centre 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 try, you just can't hide Your eyes are edged with tears
[Verse 4] 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
[Chorus] You better stop, look around Here it comes
[Outro] Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown...
