[Verse 1]
How come every time you feel real good
Somebody drops you a piss-off bomb?
How come every time you roll the dice
Somebody offers you the wrong advice?
Oh no, not again, just when I'm feeling happy
Oh no, not again, just when you're feeling fine
[Chorus]
Take it slow, don't go fast
Looking good never lasts
Different day, same old song
Then somebody drops you a piss-off bomb
Ow
Ow-ow
[Verse 2]
In and out, roundabout, try to sort your feelings out
Can you see the full moon rising?
Break the spell, ring the bell, trapped inside your private hell
Can't you see the far horizon?
Down, down, drag you down, just when you're feeling happy
Down, down, drag you down, just when you're feeling fine
[Chorus]
Take it slow, don't go fast
Looking good never lasts
Different day, same old song
Then somebody drops you a piss-off bomb
Ow
Ow-ow
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
How come every time you feel real good
Somebody drops you a piss-off bomb?
How come every time you roll the dice
Somebody offers you the wrong advice?
'Round, 'round, turn you 'round, just when you're feeling happy
Down, down, drag you down, just when you're feeling fine
[Chorus]
Take it slow, don't go fast
Looking good never lasts
Different day, same old song
Then somebody drops you a piss-off bomb
Ow
Ow-ow
Ow-ow
How come every time you feel real good
Somebody drops you a piss-off bomb?
How come every time you roll the dice
Somebody offers you the wrong advice?
Oh no, not again, just when I'm feeling happy
Oh no, not again, just when you're feeling fine
Take it slow, don't go fast
Looking good never lasts
Different day, same old song
Then somebody drops you a piss-off bomb
Ow
Ow-ow
In and out, roundabout, try to sort your feelings out
Can you see the full moon rising?
Break the spell, ring the bell, trapped inside your private hell
Can't you see the far horizon?
Down, down, drag you down, just when you're feeling happy
Down, down, drag you down, just when you're feeling fine
Take it slow, don't go fast
Looking good never lasts
Different day, same old song
Then somebody drops you a piss-off bomb
Ow
Ow-ow
How come every time you feel real good
Somebody drops you a piss-off bomb?
How come every time you roll the dice
Somebody offers you the wrong advice?
'Round, 'round, turn you 'round, just when you're feeling happy
Down, down, drag you down, just when you're feeling fine
Take it slow, don't go fast
Looking good never lasts
Different day, same old song
Then somebody drops you a piss-off bomb
Ow
Ow-ow
