Lyrics

It's a wonderful morning but I don't feel like getting up, so I
just turn around, face to the wall,
and listen to the blood that pulses through the veins beneath my ears,
as if anything made sense at all.

I have never felt this sane before,
although you won't believe me
when I say I now know the answer to it all
and it is: no.

It's a wonderful night but I don't feel like going out -
'there's no place like home', that's what they say.
so I'm playing black jack against my bitterness:
the sucker always wins and I gambled all my hopes away.

But it has never been more clear than this,
although you won't believe me
when I say that I found the answer to it all
and it is: no.

It's a wonderful life, I know, I am aware of that
and oh, I appreciate it all!
and this isn't sad, it isn't desperate, it is just that I
don't really have a use for it at all.

And I have never been more sane than this
although you won't believe me
when I say that I found the answer to it all
But it has never been more clear than this,
although you won't believe me
when I say I just found the answer to it all
I have never seen as clear as this
although you won't believe me
when I say that I found the answer to it all
and it is: no. (x3)
