don't know why
where did all my money go
i guess it's better if i never know
it's happier away from me
the things i don't need always leave
bad feeling took a long walk on a short pier
and i'm feeling like a good time because i'm still here
and i don't feel bad
and i don't break down and cry
and i don't give up
but i don't know why
and i watch her go
and i don't say goodbye
and i'll see her again
but i don't know why
i can't seem to understand
nothing's fun that hasn't been banned
worry about the lives we choose
it's easier to be amused
bad feeling took a long walk on a short pier
and i'm feeling like a good time because i'm still here
and i don't feel bad
and i don't break down and cry
and i don't give up
but i don't know why
and i sip my scotch
and i kiss the sky
and i leave this world
but i don't know why
my fair weather friends are gone
but some will stick around all along
some were never really here
and some have yet to appear
bad feeling took a long walk on a short pier
and i'm feeling like a good time because i'm still here
and i don't feel bad
and i don't break down and cry
and i don't give up
but i don't know why
and i reach for the stars
and i get passed by
and i fall behind
but i don't know why
