Well the doctor keeps me waiting
The blood in my brain
The pain in my chest
Oh oh oh
Only happens when it's raining
The smoke in my lung
The beer in my gut
Oh oh oh
Feeling like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh oh oh
Feeling like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh oh oh
It's a nightmare in the alley
The undertaker's there
With his bowler hat
Oh oh oh
And his coffin eyes are empty
The ex-wife she's there too
Grinning like a Cheshire cat
Oh oh oh
And I'm feeling like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh oh oh
Feeling like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh oh oh
I'm trying to buy a drink
But the barmaid's cross-eyed
Why'd they let her work here
Hell I just don't know
I find it hard to think
Since my kangaroo died
Why'd she have to leave me
Hell I just don't know
I don't know
Well the priest is at the pulpit
Telling me I'm wrong
Telling me I'm sickening
Oh oh oh
To believe him is to forfeit
Everything I am
And everything I'll never be
Oh oh
So I'm feeling like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh oh oh
Feeling like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh oh oh
I'm trying to buy a drink
But the barmaid's cross-eyed
Why'd they let her work here
Hell I just don't know
I find it hard to think
Since my kangaroo died
Why'd she have to leave me
Hell I just don't know
I don't know
Always were the waters
Deep inside your heart
Always wanted to return
To your body
But I'm no
Thanks, Katie! She suggests that the song is about a man cheating on his wife with another man, hence the mentions of "going down" (if you're gonna use the phrase in your song, you'd better be prepared for oral sex interpretations), alleys, and the "Well the priest is at the pulpit" verse. She also points out that kangaroos carry their young, which makes them rather conspicuous breeders, and well, if the narrator's kangaroo died...
I buy it!
