Are We Happy

The Leisure Society

She said it's a tough, tough world
The things that I've seen, will leave you shivering 
I set myself in to her, we changed like the lights 
On a busy street 
Checking constantly 

That we're happy
To be here 

She said let your whiskers grow 
Bearing the lines, broken promises 
You made to yourself and her 
How does it feel 
Sitting silently 
In this room with me 

Are you happy 
To be here?
Are you happy 
To be here?

Details are everything 
Cut from the chase 
To splint our shins 

We cast long shadows now 
Crimes from the past 
Let us down
Time and again 

On the night the comet came 
Stared at the sky
And lit another one 
Meanwhile the industrious birds
Harvest the bones 
Filling beaks they go
Flitting to and fro 

Are they happy 
To be here? 
Are we happy 
To be here?
