You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?

Bring you comics in bed; scr*pe the mold off the bread,
And serve you French toast again
Well, o.k. I still get stoned, I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along, so what if right now everything's wrong?

If it makes you haaaaaaappy, then why the hell are you so sad?
