I'm Jealous of Myself

I had too much to give you My car it broke right down You know I can't forgive you For making me walk all the way across This godforsaken town I'm jealous of myself I'm jealous of myself I'm jealous of myself 'cause I can't have me The dog is scratching at the door The monkey's causing trouble There's blood in the water I just know it's your daughter The backyard is covered in bubbles She's jealous of herself She's jealous of herself She's jealous of herself Now that she's happy Did you go to therapy To find out who you are Is that cost-effective personality Too near or far It's bedlam until sunrise It's boredom until dusk And now do you dare to stare In the elephant's eyes For want of the tusk You're jealous of yourself You're jealous of yourself You're jealous of yourself And so's your family
