Happy Man, Lonely Body

If the phone rings while I'm away
Tell them to shut the fuck up and have a shitty day
Or I guess you could just let it ring and let go
(Please call back another time, thank you)
I got new shoes because the old ones were ripped
I guess you could say that I am pretty hip
Or I guess you could say I'm trying to hard or something
But that's nothing compared to the hours I spend
Trying hard to make something
Trying hard to pretend that
My words, my thoughts, my shoes are worth singing about

But somewhere there's a happy man
Stuck inside a lonely body
He's made a choice inside his head that he won't forget until he's set free
But somewhere there's a happy man
Trapped inside a lonely body
He's made a choice inside his head that he won't forget until he's set free

With eyes closed, I'll see him there
And all of the sudden I won't really care
About all of your people laughing at the holes in my shirt
And if I forgot about all of this
I wonder just what I could miss
Pushing away old memories with a blink
But maybe it's worth it compared to the hours I spend
Trying hard to make something
Trying hard to pretend that
This thing is worth singing so much about

But somewhere there's a happy man
Stuck inside a lonely body
He's made a choice inside his head that he won't forget until he's set free
But somewhere there's a happy man
Trapped inside a lonely body
He's made a choice inside his head that he won't forget until he's set free

He was standing high
He was feeling down
He got so fed up
He eventually un-wound

Somewhere there's a happy man
Trapped inside a lonely body
He's made a choice inside his head that he won't forget until he's set free
