I'm convinced this whole thing ends 
In a crash of common sense 
In an avalanche of accidents 
Premonitions of what's already been 
The good news first 
I ain't ready for the worst 
I ain't ready for the hurt 
Give the good news first 
You're bleedin' every heart that you enter 
I guess that's one way to remember 
Thread a tear and tie it on 
Premonitions of what's already gone 
The good news first 
I ain't ready for the worst 
I ain't ready for the hurt 
Give the good news first 
Do you find this funny? 
Send in the clowns funny? 
Do you find this funny? 
No one's laughin' more than me 
The good news first
