[Verse 1]
Thirty-one today
What a thing to say
Drinking Guinness in the afternoon
Taking shelter in the black cocoon

[Chorus]
I thought my life would be different somehow
I thought my life would be better by now
I thought my life would be different somehow
I thought my life would be better by now
But it's not, and I don't know where to turn

[Verse 2]
Called some guy I knew
Had a drink or two
And we fumbled as the day grew dark
I pretended that I felt a spark

[Chorus]
I thought my life would be different somehow
I thought my life would be better by now
I thought my life would be different somehow
I thought my life would be better by now
But it's not, and I don't know where to turn
No, it's not, and I don't know where to turn
No, it's not, and I don't know where to turn
[Verse 3]
Easter comes and goes
Maybe Jesus knows
So you roll on with the best you can
Getting loaded, watching CNN

[Chorus]
I thought my life would be different somehow
I thought my life would be better by now
I thought my life would be different somehow
I thought my life would be better by now
But it's not, and I don't know where to turn
No, it's not, and I don't know where to turn
No, it's not, and I don't know where to turn
No, it's not, and I don't know
