Abney Park - Jealousy Lyrics

Jealousy's a beast
When it rears its ugly head
No weapon can defeat it
Nothing will make it dead

You can hit the beast with sympathy
Or just show that you don't heed it
Or hit the beast with generosity
All these things just feed it

It can kill your friends and family
Well, it can kill your whole hometown
Neither your success nor failure
Is enough to pull it down

So if, my friend, you ever find
You've accomplished all your dreams
Be prepared to be alone—
Jealousy's a beast, it seems

Jealousy's a beast
When it rears its ugly head

Jealousy's a beast
When it rears its ugly head
