In A Bad Mood
Golden Earring Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I believe I'm in a bad mood girl
And I hope it won't last too long
Last time I had a bad mood girl
Everything turned out wrong
I'm living in a bad mood world
The heart's bleeding, don't it make you cry
Are you listening to the sad news, girl
It's about another mixed-up messed-up guy

He's goin' through a bad dream, girl
He's sleepin' with his eyes open wide
He's livin' in a bad mood world
He's livin' and he don't know why
Sometimes I don't know what to do
I just wish I could fly, yeah

I can't give it up 'till I had enough
I wanna see the truth in your eyes
Sometimes I'm tired of livin'
I can't give it up before I live it up
Fall in love for the rest of my life
Sometimes I'm tired of livin'
Sure as hell ain't ready to die

You give my heart such a hard time inside
Like a passenger on a roller-coaster ride
Through the cold moonlight
Just show me where the good time's rolling
Lemme eat a slice of that pie




Show me where they go out moon-beaming
And I shoot 'em all from the sky
