Something Bad

Do you ever get the feeling on a perfect afternoon

Something bad is gonna happen pretty soon?

And it keeps you a little nervous, cause you know that you deserve it

Life's been far to easy for you

And all this time, you thought you got away

All your crimes have tracked you down today

You don't wanna say it louder, you're afraid to give it power

But something bad is gonna happen pretty soon

Do you live with a monster though you do not know it's name

He's followed you around since you were young

Just when you think it's clear, you'll feel his breath on your ear

Saying one day, I'm gonna get you son.

Every night, he sleeps beneath your bed

You're looking right, he's sneaking up on the left

He says, "Let me tell you something, you'll never see me coming."

But something bad, it gonna happen pretty soon.

Do you think about the day when you'll lay your body down

And your lifetime of worry is no more

Through the good times and the bad, through the happy and the sad

You never knew what you were waiting for

Such a shame, it's a perfect afternoon

And there you lay, silent as the moon

And your only consolation, you won't live in trepidation

That something bad, is gonna happen pretty soon
