Suffering

(album: Frank Black And The Catholics - 1998)

Yeah

Well, I heard about your happiness
And all the plans that you're involved in
Since you're gone, you'd be impressed
To know I, too, have been evolving
But I don't think you comprehend

I've been suffering
I've been suffering
And I'll be suffering up around the bend

This love is a cancer in me
I can feel it advancing in me
This fire it is my light of my world
Well, I found me a new friend

I've been suffering
I've been suffering
Yes I'll be suffering up around the bend

I hung around in a leather bar
They threw me on the cement
I slept all night in my plastic car
Got in an accident

I brushed by you in the supermart
And I had me a touch of what's real
It was real when you crushed me with your steel

Black clouds roll through my mind
Who says anyway these halls are sovereign?
I am a hater of the human kind
So keep away, this heart's not softening
No, I don't think that it's the end

Of this suffering
Yeah, I've been suffering
I've been suffering
I've been suffering
And I'll be suffering up around the bend
