I've chased this dream since I was five
And I have barely stayed alive
While folks have fallen off this ship
While I have never lost my grip.

So hate me
You might as well hate me
And go on, berate me
Until the day you die.

I'll go straight through
I'm not gonna hate you
But I won't wait for you
Until the day I die.

Some folks will tell me I'm all wrong (He's all wrong)
But I won't listen, not for long. (No, not for long)
My whole life I've planned this trip. (He's planned this trip)
To my plan I'm gonna stick. (He's gonna stick)

So hate me
You might as well hate me
And go on, berate me
Until the day you die.

I'll go straight through
I'm not gonna hate you
But I won't wait for you
Until the day I die.

"Dr. Weird's Mystery will be continued shortly.
By the way, doctor, is mystery your sole pleasure?"
"Young man, what could be more pleasant than mystery?"
"Well, music. I mean the kind of music a man can hum and whistle when they feel on top of the world."

So hate me
You might as well hate me
And go on, berate me
Until the day you die.

I'll go straight through
I'm not gonna hate you
But I won't wait for you
Until the day I die.
