Lyrics I Was Doing Fine (Then a Few People Died) - Craig Finn

A little hitch in her voice
When she answered the call.
She said some nights I get so paranoid.
I wish I wasn't involved.

It was the last of the bottle.
Second bottle of the evening.
She said its hard these days for a girl to trust anyone.
I've been so lonely lately.

I went to the movies.
Did too much in one sitting.
She said its hard for me to concentrate.
With all the killing and kissing.

I was the first to get married.
I was the last one to know.
I went down in the darkness.
I came to at the show.

There was this kid with a diamond.
There was a safe place to hide.
I was doing fine then a few people died.
I was doing alright then a few people died.

It was the last of the bottle.
It was the third of the evening.
She said some nights I wonder if anything means anything.
I never said I was Jesus.

Some nights I keep it a secret.

Some nights I keep it a secret.
Some nights I try to get noticed.

Some nights I try to see Jesus
I do it by crossing my eyes.
I was doing fine then a few people died.
I was doing alright then a few people died.

It was the last of the bottle.
It was the third of the evening.
She said some nights I wonder if anything means anything.
I never said I was Jesus.

Some nights I keep it a secret.
Some nights I try to get noticed.
Some nights I keep it a secret.
Some nights I try to get noticed.
