| My, my, the time do fly when it’s in another pair of hands
 | 
| And a loser I will be for I’ve never been a winner in my life
 | 
| I got used to stressing pain, I used the sucker pills to pity for the self
 | 
| Oh, it’s the animal in me but I’d rather be a beggar man on the shelf
 | 
| Don’t be so forlorn, it’s just the payoff
 | 
| It’s the rain before the storm
 | 
| On a better day, I’ll take you by the hand
 | 
| And I’ll walk you through the doors
 | 
| Don’t be so forlorn, it’s just the payoff
 | 
| It’s the rain before the storm
 | 
| Don’t you let my letter get you down
 | 
| Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you
 | 
| My, my, but time do fly when it’s in another pair of pants
 | 
| And illusion I will be, for I’ve never been a sinner, la di da
 | 
| Don’t be so forlorn, it’s just the payoff
 | 
| It’s the rain before the storm
 | 
| Don’t you let my letter get you down
 | 
| Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you, don’t you
 | 
| Don’t you let my letter get you down, down, down, down
 | 
| Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you, don’t you
 | 
| Don’t you let my letter get you down, down, down, down
 | 
| Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you, don’t you
 | 
| Down, down, down, down, down, down
 | 
| Down, down, down, down, down, down
 | 
| Down, down, down, down, down, down |
