[Verse 1]
I'm so happy cause today
I found my friends
They're in my head

I'm so ugly, that's okay cause so are you
We broke our mirrors

Sunday morning is everyday for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles, in a daze
Cause I've found God


[Hook]
Yeah, yeah yeah (6 x's)

[Verse 2]
I'm so lonely, that's okay, I shaved my head
And I'm not sad
And just maybe, I'm to blame for all I've heard
But I'm not sure

I'm so excited, I can't wait too meet you there
But I don't care
I'm so horny, but that's okay
My will is good


[Hook]

[Bridge]
I like it I'm not gonna crack
I miss you I'm not gonna crack
I love you I'm not gonna crack
I killed you I'm not gonna crack


[Verse 1]

About Lithium

The CD single contained a sonogram photo of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love’s unborn child, Frances Bean; Kurt said he thought he saw Frances doing the heavy metal devil horn hand gesture when he watched the sonogram.

On Nirvana’s highly praised and succesful major label debut. “Lithium” is a perfect description of manic depression, where every line is both happy and sad, up and down. Lithium is also a key drug in treating the disorder. This song also relates to when Kurt lived with a devout Christian family.
