Well, the world's left me blinking and staring at the ceiling
And I'm singing a darker tune these days;
I'm so hard hit and useless and dizzy and wheeling,
Think it's time for me to go away —

But I want to send the whole world packing;
Damned if I'm the one to go.
I want to send the whole world packing,
So I can finally be alone.

I used to think every mountain was covered with daisies
And like them this heart of mine would bloom,
But when I open up my door and I wait for a caller
They avoid it like a tomb!

I want to send the whole world packing;
Damned if I'm the one to go.
I want to send the whole world packing,
So I can finally be alone.

I'm gonna close all the windows and lay on the sofa
And wait for this misery to pass,
Because the only ones that know me still treat me like a stranger
And there's no one looking through the glass.

I want to send the whole world packing;
Damned if I'm the one to go.
I want to send the whole world packing,
So I can finally be alone.
