Lyrics
Here comes Sammy walkin' down my way
She's lookin' mighty fine like any old other day
And I feel like I'm on cloud nine
Yeah, gonna get her digits for real this time
The words I tried to find
Got lost inside my mind
Then when I was about to try
She was greeted by a kiss from a man outside
Each time that I try to make my life some sort of heaven
Something brings itself to light and takes me down to earth again
Then I find myself with a bad case of flu
I go for the ibuprofen and I swallow two
And and these chemicals swarm my brain
I feel a lot more useful and a lot less pain
The hours tick on by
I lose my so-called high
I was much better in my mind
And now for what it's worth, the coming down is so unkind
Each time that I try to make my life some sort of heaven
Something brings itself to light and takes me down to earth again
And I feel so alive when I recall that I'm forgiven
It's the black here in this life that takes me down to earth again
