Lyrics Daniel Johnston

Daniel Johnston

Squiggly Lines

If you had seen her you’d think it was funny

She was so passionate, made everything sunny

She was dancing all the time

Never spent a dime

Always feeling fine

Always an uphill climb

I thought I’d like to get to know her

I thought I’d like to get to go with her

But the darkness of the night

Blew out my candlelight

My head was full of fright

What a horrible tragedy plight

And when my ego was shattered

She said it didn’t really matter

She said she’s got her own (boyfriend?)

She said she didn’t want one who was not sane

She said my love was down the drain

And she hated "Songs of Pain"

I went out to her house foaming at the mouth

She called me a dirty louse

I was crying all the time

Seeing the monkey shine

Talking to myself

Staring into tears
