lyrics

'I'm a diddy diddy downfaced today
I'm a diddy diddy downfaced today'

An airless night where shadows snapped
She went from big room to small then back
With herself you know she'd made a pact
To tell the truth and let that be that

He met her for drinks and asked polite,
'So tell me about you, what do you like?'
Swirling her ice she replied,
'I find it utterly taxing this being alive.'

'I'm a diddy diddy downfaced today'
Scuttle the pavement, scuttle the street,
She yells, 'does anyone object but me?'

'I am wretched but I think I'm right
I am wretched but hell I'm right!'
