lyrics

Once you factor out the novelty
Happiness is easy to achieve
The gifts of presence may not come in threes
But jump that bridge
Suspend your disbelief

Take a walk upon the mild side
Darkness can be taken in in stride
The foot falls on the other shoe drop tide
When the mood has ebbed
You’re drawn into their web

If you’re happy, never let ‘em know the score

A diamond dozen on the rough draft page
You’re three times more but acting half your age
Back up the road the car had disengaged
It stalled that rail
And no one threw your bail

Talent gets erotic when it’s blown
Turned to dust from worn out bones
Keep ‘em wondering why you let it go
Goddam these genes
Their blue dye’s fading me

If you’re happy, never let ‘em know the score

One day this will fade away
