Happiness Will Ruin This Place |
A man of mostly bones |
Found himself in love |
And didn’t know what to do |
Said «All that I ever want |
To be two places at once |
Either way you lose» |
Killing off other plans |
He got into a van |
And found a place in the country |
Said «It's all downhill from here |
Honey, don’t be scared |
I’m ready to be happy» |
«When I close my eyes |
I can see your face |
I wanna know everything about you |
We could grab our lives |
And run away |
Happiness will ruin this place" |
Here in the present day |
In a dark cafe |
There’s something large at stake |
Says «All that I ever want |
To be two places at once» |
And pokes around in an ashtray |
«Honey, can you see |
Bloodstains on my teeth |
I’m not the beast I used to be» |
Silence intervenes |
She looks up from her tea |
Says «Everything goes extinct» |
«When I close my eyes |
I don’t see your face |
I don’t know anything about you |
Oh it’s no surprise |
You lost your way |
Happiness will ruin this place" |
Followed by a brood |
Of children through the zoo |
A wonder he can recognize |
There’s a moment where he sees |
In the chimpanzees |
Sympathetic eyes |
«The problem that you have |
You’re living in a trap |
Regret it eats away at you |
Two places or one |
There’s nowhere to run |
Either way you lose |
I could close my eyes |
But it’s all too late |
They don’t anything about me |
Oh it’s no surprise |
I lost my way |
Happiness will ruin this place" |
