Black Shades of Melancholy
Down in the depths of this despair
A place of which I wasn’t aware
But now I’m here, and you’re out there
We’re poles apart, and you don’t care
Up in the clouds of happiness
Is where I prefer to exist
I had no room for a darker life
I always tried to resist
Yes I always tried to resist
It wasn’t always like this
It used to be so good
It wasn’t always like this
I’d change things If I could
When I’m driving my fast sports car
I feel so young, I feel so free
Blasting down the motorway
At speeds up to a hundred and three
But black shades of melancholy
Descend within my brain
Taking over my personality
Stealing my good name
Up in the clouds of happiness
Is where I prefer to exist
I had no room for a darker life
I always tried to resist
Yes I always tried to resist
It wasn’t always like this
It used to be so good
It wasn’t always like this
I’d change things If I could
Oh I’d change things If I could
