[Verse 1]

Underlying depression

Have to crawl into my room

Underlying depression

Don't want to know about the moon in June

Outside there's a cavalcade of clowns

But they`re just bringing me down

With underlying depression

[Verse 2]

Underlying depression

And it's starting in my backyard

Underlying depression

And these times ain't even so hard

Lord I was born with the blues

And my blue suede shoes

And underlying depression

[Verse 3]

Underlying depression

And there's just nowhere to turn

Underlying depression

And things just seem to turn in on one

Sometimes I'm stuck here in the corner

Just like Little Jack Horner

With underlying depression

[Verse 4]

Underlying depression

And I just can't get it right

Underlying depression

I've got to fight it with all my might

Right now I don't want to be alone

Get my baby on the telephone

Underlying depression

[Verse 5]

Have to make some concessions

When everything is working right

Have to count my blessings

Helps me make it through the night

I've got love in my life

As well as trouble and strife

And underlying depression

[Outro]

And underlying depression

And underlying depression

And underlying depression

Ain't nothing but the blues

Underlying depression ain't nothing but the blues

Underlying depression ain't nothing but the blues

Underlying depression
