They Might Be Giants - Withered Hope

Very sad sack is a sad bag
Very very sad very sad sack
Withered hope says she is his friend
To the end but she doesn't like very sad sack

Today withered hope saw the very sad sack
And she tried not to meet his eyes
And he cut out a paper heart
Pinned it to his arm
Gave her everything he was holding in his head
This is what he said:

Withered hope I'm in love with you
Want to live with you withered hope
Are you going to say to me this can never be
are you going to say to me withered hope
Sad sack
Sad sack

Withered hope says she has a soul mate
Living in a city in another state
But the soul mate thinks about a picture in a book of a beautiful crook
And the picture of the crook in the book
Is in love with a brand-new motorbike
But the motorbike doesn't like crooks
It's obsessed with the very sad sack

Sad sack I'm in love with you
Want to live with you sad sack
Are you going to say to me this can never be
are you going to say to me sad sack
Sad sack
Sad sack
