For some reason, the lyrics above have been changed and are not what I originally submitted. I tried to edit them again, but it doesn't look like they're changing. Re-posting here.

I don't think I'm going out anymore. You better find some other body to comfort. When I was trembling baby, you was a diamond. But you ain't a diamond no more.

So what you wanna say is my head is a hurricane? Well, let me sleep on that, uh huh, alright. You say I'm hopelessly devoted to misery, well, I don't wanna be so devoted no more. Ah, yeah.

And all of my friends wanna get into heaven. And all I keep thinking is I wish you were here. I heard that they been calling me The Great Depression. Rolling and tumbling, breaking my own heart again.

Shimmy, shimmy shake, baby, right in my bloodstream. I don't know what it was that got in my room. My ticker tape heart broke and everything shook in here. But I heard it could be worse.

So what you wanna say is my head is a weather-vane spinning with the wind chime. Right. Maybe I was born on the fourth of July, exploding like a firework. Ah, yeah.

And all of my friends wanna get into heaven. And all I keep thinking is I wish you were here. I heard that they been calling me The Great Depression. Rolling and tumbling. (Rolling and tumbling.)

And all of my friends wanna get into heaven. And all I keep thinking is I wish you were here. I heard that they been calling me The Great Depression. Rolling and tumbling.

So should I take everything? All your temporary medicines? Should I take your reds, your blues, and your cocaine? Should I take something to try on the weekend? Should I take anything? Or did you mean everything? And when I hit the wall, wrecked from it all, you'll put flowers down on the cold ground.

And cry me a river. And assure me I'm crazy. While you question the answers, and then you lean on your best friends. Until you find better weather. And you take a vacation. I hope you got all my letters. Signed The Great Depression, baby, ...Rolling and tumbling.
