Doomsayer Songtext
von Seeming

I′m pacing by the highway
I'm ranting on the witness stand
There′s a skipping, skipping, skipping
Skipping record in my mouth
I'm grabbing hold of strangers around me
Warning happiness is just a distraction
From the one thing I can't seem to shut up about

All you madmen retreating to the mountains
You astronomers who keep on counting
I know how it feels
I know how it feels
When only one thing is real
All you forgotten halfwits in the attic
Finding God as you stare into static
I know what it′s like when your family cries
I know how it feels


Will the world finally get the message
If I hide it in a pop song?
Well, the second verse is here already; time is tight
And will all of the kids who called me crazy
Suddenly track down my address and thank me
Saying, "Finally, I get it
Finally, I see the light, and you were right"?

All you madmen retreating to the mountains
You astronomers who keep on counting
I know how it feels
I know how it feels when only one thing is real
All you forgotten halfwits in the attic
Finding God as you stare into static
I know what it′s like when your family cries
I know how it feels

And if you're suffering, I can help you
Though I cannot help myself
But don′t you worry, I look well enough
That no one else can tell

And if you're suffering, I can help you
Though I cannot help myself
But don′t you worry, I look well enough
That no one else can tell


And if you're suffering, I can help you
Then I help myself
Don′t you worry
Don't you worry
Don't you worry

All you madmen retreating to the mountains
You astronomers just counting and counting
I know how it feels
I know how it feels when only one thing is real
All you forgotten halfwits in the attic
Finding God as you gaze into static
I know what it′s like when your family cries

I know how it feels to be
To be, to be
To be the doomsayer
Doomsayer
To be the doomsayer
Doomsayer
Doomsayer
Doomsayer

(If you′re suffering, I can help)
