Something To Look Forward To

Wouldn’t it be nice
To have something to look forward to?
When you’re down in the dirt
With nothing much to do?
Every time you come around
The whole world turns upside down
My chains they rattle and they creak
I can’t do anything I feel so weak

Wouldn’t it be nice
To have something to look forward to?
When you’re down in the dirt
With nothing much to do?

Heartache never seems to end
The oozing wound of life just won’t mend
Sick and nervous all the time
Like I’m wanted for some awful crime

Wouldn’t it be nice
To have something to look forward to?
When you’re down in the dirt
With nothing much to do?

We used to sit down by the pond
It always scared me when your hair was blonde
Frogs were croaking it was June
You started whistling a mangled tune

Wouldn’t it be nice
To have something to look forward to?
When you’re down in the dirt
With nothing much to do?

There’s no magic anymore
When you wish upon a dying star
I’d offer comfort if I could
But it really wouldn’t do much good

Wouldn’t it be nice
To have something to look forward to?
When you’re down in the dirt
With nothing much to do?

Wouldn’t it be nice
To have something to look forward to?
In the night when you’re all alone
