[Verse 1]
I knew the world was falling apart now, right now
I felt the wings fly over the top now, top now

[Bridge]
Hello, hello would you see me now?
Would you be so old?
Hello, hello would you see me now?
Would you be so old?

[Chorus]
Why so? Why so? Why so serious?
Why so? Why so? Why so serious?
Why so? Why so? Why so serious?
Why so? Why so? Why so serious, now?

[Verse 2]
I felt a long long way
I grabbed a shovel then I dug my grave
And then I hit the bottom six feet down
All the way down, all the way down

[Chorus]
Why so? Why so? Why so serious?
Why so? Why so? Why so serious?
Why so? Why so? Why so serious?
Why so? Why so? Why so serious, now?
[Bridge]
Fell down, right back where I started, I lost it
Fell out, fell right out the carriage, I lost it

[Chorus]
Why so? Why so? Why so serious?
Why so? Why so? Why so serious?
Why so? Why so? Why so serious?
Why so? Why so? Why so serious, now?
