Well, I′ve seen all there is to see
And I've heard all they have to say
I′ve done everything I wanted to do . . .
I've done that too
And it ain't that pretty at all
Ain′t that pretty at all
So I′m going to hurl myself against the wall
'Cause I′d rather feel bad than not feel anything at all


You know, I just had a short vacation, Roy
Spent it getting a root canal
"Oh, how'd you like it?"
Well, it ain′t that pretty at all
So I'm going to hurl myself against the wall
′Cause I'd rather feel bad than not feel anything at all

Gonna get a good running start and throw myself at the wall as hard as I can man

I've been to Paris
And it ain′t that pretty at all
I′ve been to Rome
Guess what?
I'd like to go back to Paris someday and visit the Louvre Museum
Get a good running start and hurl myself at the wall
Going to hurl myself against the wall
′Cause I'd rather feel bad than feel nothing at all
And it ain′t that pretty at all
Ain't that pretty at all
