Just a big bass line and drums
Got guitarists sucking their thumbs
For a bar or two - that's how to do it!

Press the keys, it makes it swell
I don't pretend I can play very well
But I like what piano brings to it

Before the idea gives way
I press 'Record' and I press 'Play'

'Cause like a pain in my head
It won't let go!
Like a beast in my bed
I can't say no!
Like a crack in the windshield of my soul
It is agony, Agatha

Just a verse and a chorus now
In my brain, playing around and around
And around on a loop under my bonnet

Sometimes when I'm trying to write songs
I imagine I turn the radio on
And think about what I'd like to hear on it

Thumping drums and chords
That's what I'm all about
Add bass and keyboards
And you've got everyone rocking out! Yeah!

'Cause like a pain in my head
It won't let go!
Like a beast in my bed
I can't say no!
Like a stain on the carpet of my soul
It is agony, Agatha...

Oh Agatha, it's Agony...
