Elliott Smith - Figure 8 (Deluxe Edition)

Happiness - Acoustic Version

Activity's killing the actor
And a cops standing out in the road
Turning traffic away

There was nothing she could do until after
When his body'd been buried below
Way back in the day

Oh my, well nothing else could've been done
Made his life a lie so
He might never have to know anyone
Made his life a lie you know

I told him that he shouldn't upset her
And that he'd only be making it worse
Involving somebody else
But I knew that he'd never forget her
While her memory worked in reverse
To keep her safe from herself

And oh my, nothing else could've been done
She made her life so
She might never have to know anyone
Made her life you know

What I used to be
Will pass away and then you'll see
That all I want now
Is happiness for you and me
What I used to be
Will pass away and then you'll see
That all I want now
Is happiness for you and me
