Lyrics »

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 No, 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 go to 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 LYRICS TO THE PIXIES' VERSION FROM ENJOY EVERY SANDWICH: Well I've seen everything that there is to see And I've heard everything that they had to say And I've done everything that I wanted to do Yeah I done that too And it ain't that pretty at all It ain't that pretty at all Well I throw myself against the wall Cause I'd rather feel bad than not feel anything at all I just came back from a short vacation, Jordan Going down the Erie Love Canal How'd you like it, Kimmie? Well it ain't that pretty at all No it ain't that pretty at all It ain't that pretty at all Gonna throw myself against the wall 'Cause I'd rather feel bad than not feel anything at all I'm gonna to get a good running start Gonna throw myself against the wall Oh, here I come I've been to Paris And it ain't that pretty at all I've been to Rome Hey, guess what? I'm gonna throw myself against the wall there at the Louvre Museum, in Paris, France I'm gonna throw 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...
