Lyrics of Pierre by Josh Groban,Original Broadway Company of Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812
verse
It's dawned on me suddenly
And for no obvious reason
That I can't go on
Living as I am
The zest of life has vanished
Only the skeleton remains
Unexpectedly vile
verse
I used to be better
I used to be better
I used to be better
verse
I used to be better
I used to be better
I used to be better
chorus
Oh, Pierre, Our merry feasting crank
Our most dear, most kind,
Most smart and eccentric
A warm-hearted Russian of the old school
His purse is always empty
'Cause it's open to all
Oh, Pierre
Just one of a hundred sad old men
Living out their final days in Moscow
verse
I drink too much
Right now, my friend fights and bleeds
And I sit at home and read
Hours at a time
Hours at my screen
Anything, anything
Abandoned to distraction
In order to forget
We waste our lives
Drowning in wine
verse
I never thought that I'd end up like this
I used to be better
verse
And the women, they all pity me
'Cause I'm married
But not in love
Frozen at the center
verse
Il est charmant; il n'a pas de sexe
He is charming; he has no sex
chorus
Oh, Pierre, Our merry feasting crank
Our most dear, most kind,
Most smart and eccentric
A warm-hearted Russian of the old school
His purse is always empty
'Cause it's open to all
Oh, Pierre
Just one of a hundred sad old men
Living out their final days in Moscow
verse
There's a ringing in my head
There's a sickness in the world
And everyone knows
But pretends that they don't see
"Oh, I'll sort it out later"
But later never comes
verse
And how many men before
Good Russian men
Believing in goodness and truth
verse
Entered that door
With all their teeth and hair
And left it toothless and bald?
verse
You empty and stupid
Contented fellows
Satisfied with your place
I'm different from you
I'm different from you
I still want to do something
outro
Or do you struggle too?
I pity you, I pity me, I pity you
I pity you, I pity me, I pity you
outro
Ahhh
Writer(s): Dp, Dave Malloy
