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
