[Chorus]
Everybody's underneath a curse
But it doesn't work on me
Everybody's out there getting hurt
But I'm doing perfectly
And the world's gone mad
Isn't it sad?
I'm the only one who understands
Everybody's underneath a curse
It's so absurd
Lucky, it doesn't work on me
[Verse 1]
It's delusion or insanity
All staring at each other like zombies
You put yourself through all kinds of hell
Just to share the nights with someone else
[Pre-Chorus]
Once I came pretty close
God, I'm so grateful that she let me go
I'm better on my own
Don't know how you people cope
[Chorus]
Everybody's underneath a curse
But it doesn't work on me
Everybody's out there getting hurt
But I'm doing perfectly
And the world's gone mad
Isn't it sad?
I'm the only one who understands
Everybody's underneath a curse
A stupid word
Lucky, it doesn't work on me
[Verse 2]
Yeah, expensive dates and city breaks
Burning through your money, what a waste
And I don't need to memorize
Anniversaries and valentines
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't try to pull me in
To your world of movie scripts and violins
I can't be fooled, you see
I've got immunity
[Chorus]
Everybody's underneath a curse
But it doesn't work on me
Everybody's out there getting hurt
But I'm doing perfectly
And the world's gone mad
Isn't it sad?
I'm the only one who understands
That everybody's underneath a curse
It's so absurd
I waited ages for my turn
Turns out it doesn't work on me

In an email to her mailing list, Burns said:
I wrote it about how everyone else seems to be able to fall in and out of love all the time, and it feels as though I’m an outsider, looking in. As if love is this mystical world that only I don’t know how to access. I decided to use the word “Curse” as...
