I’ve been running around for much of my life,
I can’t get a job. I can’t find a wife.
Oh, I’ve been married before. I’ve known my true love,
And she’s with me now, looking down from above.
It wasn’t my fault, but I couldn’t quite save her,
Time passes on, but memories won’t waver.
And I’ve had an odd job, one here and one there,
But they didn’t last long. I had to beware.
Had to be on the move. I never could stay.
I left just as soon as I had a bad day.
I was sick you see, and that’s why I ran.
I don’t wish this life on any a man.
What was wrong? What happened you ask?
I became someone else, with no help from a mask,
No special tricks and no magic potions,
I just couldn’t seem to control my emotions.
I’ve never worked out but I felt very strong.
That’s when I knew that something was wrong.
To rage or to fear, I was never a stranger,
But it never before brought this type of danger.
I never remember, I think I black out,
I see people run and I hear people shout,
I hope no one’s killed. I hope no one’s hurt.
And I’m left to ponder what I did with my shirt.
My actions were cruel but my heart was quite pure.
I had only one purpose, to search for a cure.
So I decided to run, to live on the lam,
It was better to not have a friend or a fam.
No one I love would be rattled with fears,
No one I love would shed many tears.
I scoured the globe. I searched all over.
I checked every plant, every flower and clover.
From the top of earth to the bottom of sea,
I tried to find out what would rescue me.
Years went on, depression set in.
I’ll be like this forever and I’ll never have kin.
I’ll always be known for the damage I’ve wrought,
Who knows what a normal life would have brought?
But then one day, I found it I did.
My alternate man kept under lid.
A permanent end, finally cured.
I could finally live with my name not obscured.
I was happy at first. My goal was achieved.
But after a while I felt kind of peeved.
I didn’t know why, I was finally free.
But I started to miss the alternate me.
And now that he’s gone, a thing of the past,
I’m hoping that this present state will not last.
So I’m off to the lab, where it started at first,
Where once long ago I thought I was cursed.
So I welcome back my loss of control,
Being normal, you see, has taken its toll.
And here once again I change my life’s course,
I want back my strength, my power and force.
I want back my rage and I want back my bulk,
For I was once known as the incredible hulk.
