Slow Buildings - Happiness Is For Everyone Lyrics
Took a trip on a gaudy shipJust to be with youBut I never would had I knownThat our “we†would die at seaNow just look at meI’m drifting, sad and aloneMary, Mary, won’t you ring my bell?I promise that I won’t tellBut you should be with me tonight‘Cause everybody has someoneWho will make them feel alrightYou light me like a Christmas treeIn the winter morningYour sunlight knocking my doorA sea change from a place derangedMessing up my head with illusion, money, and warSaw your crappy band play in New YorkIt made me feel like a dork‘Cause I could never be a BrooklyniteBut everybody has some placeThat will make them feel alrightAnd once it kept me happyNow it makes me sadThat all the things I’ve dreamed ofI’ve mostly never hadBut I know, yes, I knowThere’s like a million other peopleWho would gladly take my place and all my woesYes, I knowI’m lovesick from a well-placed kickIn my bleeding heartBut I can’t say it was a surpriseTo dramatize or internalize?Well, it’s the situation:I’m parading what I’d rather disguiseMary, Mary, won’t you make me well?Put me under a spellMaking color in the black and white‘Cause everybody has somethingThat will make them feel alright
