Ezra Furman
Calm Down aka I Should Not Be Alone
[Intro]
Get 'em
[Verse 1]
Happiness was never guaranteed
I wanted nothing more than to open up and bleed
No more anaesthetic, alcohol and weed
And now I got my wish and it's too much for me
[Chorus]
And I should not be alone
The way things are going
No, no, I should not be alone
The way things are going
(Woo-woo, woo-woo)
[Verse 2]
Panic-stricken, sweating in my bed
Could someone help me down
Sometimes you rot instead
Never-ending movie playing in my head
Of the dress you wore and all the shit you said
[Chorus]
And I should not be alone
The way things are going
(Woo-woo, woo-woo)
No, no, I should not be alone
The way things are going
[Outro]
Baby, don't be so sad, so bad
I know isn't life we wanted
Bad men crush us into submission
Downhill sliding, no more traction
Please stop crying
Take a deep breath
Take a tall glass, ice cold water
Calm down (Woo-woo)
Calm down (Woo-woo)
Baby, calm down (Woo-woo)
I know you can't 'cause I can't calm down
Calm down (Woo-woo)
Calm down (Woo-woo)
Baby, calm down (Woo-woo)
I know you can't 'cause I can't calm down
(Woo-woo, woo-woo)
(Woo-woo, woo-woo)
