Happy Part 1
My name is Tyler
And I run the winders
They call down the numbers
And I spool the wires
I work with Jesus
He's not even 16
Told us all he's older
But no one believes him
When he reads aloud from PENTHOUSE
He keeps rolled in his back pocket
What the foreman doesn't know
He's stealing balewire from the storeroom
What do I know?
I'll never tell
And at the end of the day
It's just as well
Jesus
Gets Doritos and Pepsi
Buys them from the wagon
Climbs out on the firescape
He brings a boombox
to play on our lunchbreak
But we listen to Newstalk
We only have one tape
But the foreman has three dogs
Sometimes he brings them to the warehouse
And he sits and talks about the buck
He knows he'll bag next season
What do I know?
I'll never tell
At the end of the day
It's just as well
Jesus wants to join the Navy
Says he'll leave for basic training soon
Tomorrow I'll turn 31
Sometimes I don't know what to feel
You know
I'll never tell
And at the end of the day
It all goes to hell
Happy Part 2
I'm not happy
You don't know what love is
When it walks through the door
Like some kind of idiot
Waving orchids and white flags
When I'm drowning in kerosene
Handmaidens of gravity
You move and you're history
You wax and I wane
And far away the dying sun
Becomes a supernova
And ignores all of this
I'm not happy
You don't know what love is
Does it shoot from the waist?
Has the king left the building?
That his head on a chair?
Does misery love my company?
It comes when it's called
to crawl under your body
You wax and I wane
And far away the dying sun
Becomes a supernova
And ignores all of this
Hightime
The lifeboats were leaving
Clap the captain in irons
Slap his wrist as we roll away
Gently
I'm highstrung but happy
Drowning dreams we abandon
in the meantime
Here by the wayside

Wunderbar! 松山市, Japan
"Steam powered fantasia with a touch of the wild, wild west and one of a kind mechanical instruments. If Melies had been a songwriter instead of film director, his music would probably have sounded something like this."
