Out of Its Misery (Album Version)

Out of Its Misery (Album Version) - Michael Penn

That's the way it goes

You're going to have to

See it through eventually

Listen I propose that

Everybody show

Some sort of sympathy

'Cause all the highs and lows

Are really wearing out

It's elasticity

There's no bouncing back

No recovery

Put it out of

It's misery

If you take my devotion

And figure it as something

You're due to accrue

It's only emotion

Winding up the motion

We are going through

And don't it break your heart

To watch its little quiver

On the avenue

'Til it's crawling back

On it's only knee

Put it out of

It's misery

Misery

I can hear mercy mercy me

Letting this go on and on and on

Endlessly

That's the way it goes

Everybody knows we're through

So you see

Your i-told-you-sos

Weren't any help

And now they're boring me

Listen I propose

That we might indulge

A little luxury

But there's no going back

And it falls on me

That it is murder

'Cause I know baby only you

Can put me out of my

Misery

Misery

Misery

Misery
