Lyrics
In Utero version (official lyrics)

It's so relieving, to know that you're leaving, as soon as you get paid
It's so relaxing, to hear that you're asking, wherever you get your way
It's so soothing, to know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same

I miss the comfort in being sad (x3)

In her false witness, we hope you're still with us, to see if they float or drown
Our favorite patient, a display of patience, disease-covered Puget Sound
She'll come back as fire, to burn all the liars, and leave a blanket of ash on the ground

I miss the comfort in being sad (x3)

It's so relieving, to know that you're leaving, as soon as you get paid
It's so relaxing, to hear that you're asking, wherever you get your way
It's so soothing, to know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same

I miss the comfort in being sad (x3)



From Kurt Cobain's Journals (page 187, transcribed by DN member BleachedBlack)

Its so relieving to know that your leaving as soon as you get paid
Its so relaxing to know that your asking
Its so soothing to know that youll sue me whenever you get the chance
Its so religious
