They Might Be Giants - Withered Hope lyrics

rate me

Very Sad Sack is a sad bag

Very, very sad

Very Sad Sack

Withered Hope says she is his friend to the end,

But she doesn't like Very Sad Sack

Today Withered Hope saw the Very Sad Sack

And she tried not to meet his eyes

And he cut out a paper heart, pinned it to his arm

Gave her everything he was holding in his head

This is what he said:

Withered Hope, I'm in love with you

Want to live with you, Withered Hope

Are you going to say to me this can never be?

Are you going to say to me, Withered Hope?

Sad Sack

Sad Sack

Withered Hope says she has a soul mate

Living in a city in another state

But the soul mate thinks about a picture in a book of a beautiful crook

And the picture of the crook in the book is in love with the brand new motorbike

But the motorbike doesn't like crooks,

It's obsessed with the Very Sad Sack

Sad Sack, I'm in love with you

Want to live with you, Sad Sack

Are you going to say to me this can never be?

Are you going to say to me, Sad Sack?

Sad Sack

Sad Sack
