Song #1 Songtext

And rumors are true

I'll never have a friend quite as lovely again



And I'm not responsible for the ending that I know is inevitable



Yes, I understand you're happy now

And I understand your hand-me-down towel

Yes, I understand you're happy now

Better to be happy than to never know


Well it pins me to

An exaggerated view --

Correct me if I'm wrong

And it's man's best friend

And the tin's empty again

Degrade yourself now

I never took a pill wasn't guaranteed to thrill



And I ought to know you standing up sober

I ought to know your black & white look

I ought to know just like your dad told you

I ought to know mistakes you mis... took



You can paint it black

You can use thickest shellac

And still be see-through

And with everything I say

I mean it in the best way

To have it be true



And it's not impossible

for a friend to heed the slack behind the pull



Yes, I understand you're happy now

And I understand your hand-me-down towel

Yes, I understand you're happy now

Better to be happy



And I ought to know you standing up sober

I ought to know your black and white look

I ought to know just like your dad told you

I ought to know mistakes you mis...



Yes, I understand you're happy now

Yes, I understand you're happy now

Yes, I understand you're happy now

Yes, I understand...

Better to be happy

Than to never know
