Just when you start feeling good
Just when you feel the way you should
Something comes along to wreck your day
You thought that all your trouble were gone
Thought you pulled all the weeds out of your lawn
I guess that it must be your naiveté
Every silver cloud has a dark lining
We think we're going up when we're declining
Evil does what evil does
Evil gets off on its evil buzz
It is more than glad to see you sad
Evil doers do what evil doers do
They light up when you are feelin' blue
They are rotten, misbegotten
Just when things stop going to hell
And you've bid grumpy old man winter farewell
A wet cold wind blows in from the east
You've planned a picnic under the sun
But something comes along to spoil the fun
Almost as if it were waiting like a crouching beast
You ask, "Why is this happening to me"
You wonder if it's part of a conspiracy
