Happiness/The Gondola Man
Activity's killing the actor
And a cop's 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, nothing else could've been done
He made his life a lie so
He might never have to know anyone
Made his life the 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 a lie so
She might never have to know anyone
Made her life the lie 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 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 to be will pass away and then you'll see
That all I want now is happiness for you and me
All I want now is happiness for you and me
And a cop's 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, nothing else could've been done
He made his life a lie so
He might never have to know anyone
Made his life the 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 a lie so
She might never have to know anyone
Made her life the lie 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 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 to be will pass away and then you'll see
That all I want now is happiness for you and me
All I want now is happiness for you and me
