I'm not very bright   But I know right from wrong   And I've not been right   For I don't know how long      I cry in my sleep   I laugh when you weep   I lie and I cheat   I talk with my feet   I'm running away   I'm lost and I long   For oblivion      You gave me your life   I gave you make believe   You wanted to be my wife   I wanted you to leave      I cry in my sleep   I laugh when you weep   I lie and I cheat   I talk with my feet   I'm running away   I'm lost and I long   For oblivion      I took the darkest way   Down and doubtful   I'm sorry I heard you say   "We can work it out"      I cry in my sleep   I laugh when you weep   I lie and I cheat   I talk with my feet   I'm running away   I'm lost and I long   For oblivion
