I always hated every version of this song we ever recorded and I hated that because I actually liked this song. So this is my attempt to do justice to the only good song we ever wrote. I hope you actually like it.
lyrics
Johnny met a girl at a party
Johnny made a girlfriend there
He took her back
To his condo flat
Where he was tragically strangled by a wild bear
Unnatural disasters, get killed by a hamster
Unnatural disasters
Wherever I turn
Truth’s stranger than fiction
That I’ll never learn
But it’s true
1,2,3,4
Susie had a bout of madness
Antipsychotics helped her through
She was feeling great
She felt first-rate
When a worm drove a nail up through her shoe
Unnatural disasters, get killed by a hamster
Unnatural disasters
Wherever I turn
Truth’s stranger than fiction
That I’ll never learn
But it’s true
1,2,3,4
The headlines told the public
About their tragic fate
The editor was fired
For mixing up the dates
He checked into a tavern
Already pretty late
He internally combusted
Well, that’s just great
Unnatural disasters
Wherever I turn
Truth’s stranger than fiction
That I’ll never learn
But it’s true
