It's raining outside
I feel gloomy inside
And I don't know why
No, I don't know why
All I can do is listen to the echo
Echo & the Bunnymen
Oh how I love them
Where's Peter Murphy when you need him?
I can't be gothic
Cuz I'm wearing blue jeans

But I know
I'm not gothic
Even though I'm white, I don't wear enough black
I know.....

I may be depressed, but that ain't enough
I gotta get some clove cigarettes
I'm doing my best
All I can do
But I just ain't dark enough

Chorus

I tried to commit suicide
But I failed, just like all my gothic friends
I even drew on my face with eye liner
But I just looked like Peter Criss
........from KISS

Chorus

I go to the coffee shops to read my books
(Books by Anne Rice and Anton LaVey.
You know, "gothic" books.)
I want to find myself a gothic girlfriend
A girlfriend who claims to be a vampire
But they all tell me I'm too tan
I don't sleep in a coffin like a real man

Chorus
