I’m well fed. I’m not starving.
Nothing can bring me down.
I can stand up straight, allowing, of course, for bad
posture.
Nothing can bring me down.
They say you’re better so I think you’re better.
We all think you’re better; do you sleep well at night?
We all think you’re holy; you must be so lonely.
Come on, Miss Lonely, do you sleep well at night?
You’re so very calm. I never meant to cause so much alarm.
I’m well read… cover to cover, my dear.
Nothing can bring me down.
I can walk down a crowded street without holding anyone’s
hand.
Nothing can bring me down.
I said I’d never, I promised I’d never.
I only need one thing, and I was born with that, dear.
I’m definitely maybe. I’m royalty, baby.
I’m eye for an eye, but you taught me that, too.
You’re so very calm. I never meant to cause so much alarm.
I’m always on time, which is more than can be said for you.
Nothing can bring me down.
I can hold your stare, for an hour if I have to.
Nothing can bring me down.
They say I’d be good-looking, if I would just put the work
in
And I’d be so bright, if I would just use my head.
I’d
stand like a statue. Oh, who am I kidding?
Call off the bidding; these words will never sell.
You’re so very calm. I never meant to cause so much alarm.
I thought I was doing quite well. I thought I was doing
fine,
Screaming, “nothing can bring me down.”
So why did you stretch out your hand? Why did you drag me
that way?
You brought me down.
You’re so very calm. I never meant to cause so much alarm.
No, I never meant to cause so much alarm.
