************************************         
Verse 1:
                                  
Marvin walked into a helpless land
                                  
And wondered lightly, "Am I happy?
               
Is this happy?"
                                   
Following the footsteps left by man
                                  
He stepped to reprimand the mystic
           
So sadistic
                             
Took a step into the elevator
                                   
Who said, "Guess I'll see you later
                
Don't you worry"
                                  
Fifteen flights that lasted nights
                                                
And days that spent without a cent for creatures
                      
With their beat shirts

            
Pre-Chorus:
                              
Listening to painted whispered
                           
Light on top forgotten hill

         
Verse 2:
                                                 
Next the stranded senate of the white brick house
                                 
With flowers asked some questions
               
For their story
                                
All feeling now, he took his bow
                                          
And left the stage of time with no answers
               
To no questions
                             
Lonely paperbacks that wanted
                                       
Just a taste of feeling to implode them
             
Before living
                                     
Tiptoed to that wooden sign that said
                                      
"Now take your place in line for happy
               
This is lovely"

            
Pre-Chorus:
                              
Listening to painted whispered
                           
Light on top forgotten hill

        
Chorus:
                                         
One secondary smile to go that extra mile
                                         
To make me feel today, to make it go away
                                       
The chemistry is gone, taken for a ride
                                        
Far away from you, no longer left inside

         
Verse 3:
                               
The actor with his world renown
                                               
Was thinking 'bout his last real day of silence
            
Was it over?
                                          
Or is it just we all think that our answer
                               
Isn't real, it's just a picture
           
Of a letter
                              
Bumble mumble, make the rounds
                                    
No matter what, you'll seem profound
                          
It's useless just to worry
                                  
Something normal happens somewhere
                                          
Far away in clouds so please stop thinking
             
This is happy

            
Pre-Chorus:
                              
Listening to painted whispered
                           
Light on top forgotten hill

        
Chorus:
                                         
One secondary smile to go that extra mile
                                         
To make me feel today, to make it go away
                                       
The chemistry is gone, taken for a ride
                                        
Far away from you, no longer left inside
                                         
One secondary smile to go that extra mile
                                         
To make me feel today, to make it go away
                                       
The chemistry is gone, taken for a ride
                                        
Far away from you, no longer left inside

       
Outro:
                               
There're no secrets in the door
                                              
Just a moment doing chores (don't look so sad)
                                            
And there's something, and there's something
                                            
And there's something, and there's something
               
Next to nothing
                                            
And there's something, and there's something
               
But you're gone
