i’ve been long a long way from here
put on a poncho played for mosquitoes
and drank ’til i was thirsty again
we went searching through thrift store jungles
found geronimo’s rifle marilyn’s shampoo
and benny goodman’s corset and pen
pre
well okay i made this up
i promised you i’d never give up
if it makes you happy
it can’t be that bad
if it makes you happy
then why the hell are you so sad
you get down real low down
you listen to coltrane derail your own train
well who hasn’t been there before
i come ’round around the hard way
bring you comics in bed scrape the mold off the bread
and serve you french toast again
pre
well okay i still get stoned
i’m not the kind of girl you’d take home
if it makes you happy
it can’t be that bad
if it makes you happy
then why the hell are you so sad
if it makes you happy
it can’t be that bad
if it makes you happy
then why the hell are you so sad
we’ve been far far away from here
put on a poncho played for mosquitoes
and everywhere in between
pre
well okay we get along
so what if right now everything’s wrong
if it makes you happy
it can’t be that bad
if it makes you happy
then why the hell are you so sad
if it makes you happy
it can’t be that bad
if it makes you happy
then why the hell are you so sad
