Sweet Anhedonia
I should have known you'd be back
With your sickle and shawl
Your dreams dressed in black
How does it feel
To feel nothing at all?
Nothing at all

I watched the Koi swimming in the black pond
By the old Smyrna airport, the colors all gone
Waiting for something too worn out to care
Over paint-stripper coffee and the serenity prayer

Sweet Anhedonia
I should have known you'd be back
With your sickle and shawl
Your dreams dressed in black
How does it feel to feel nothing at all?
Nothing at all

Rose gets her hair done each week at the shop
Her hair stays the same but the years never stop
Oh don't worry Rosie, don't get too down
Things might be different the next time around

Sweet Anhedonia
I should have known you'd be back
With your sickle and shawl
Your dreams dressed in black
How does it feel to feel nothing at all?
Nothing at all

I sat on the corner I looked for a sign
I looked at the faces not a one of them rhymed
I've lost faith in love, I've lost faith in words
I tell ya I'm still not quite sure which ones worse

Sweet Anhedonia
I should have known you'd be back
With your sickle and shawl
Your dreams dressed in black
How does it feel to feel nothing at all?
Nothing at all
