Lyrics
Happiness by the Kilowatt
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So this is continuous happiness
You know, I always
Imagined it something more
With the right paints, the right shades, the right frames
This could really work
What a great day to spend indoors
So wake, wake up
Just wake, wake up
So where has all the day gone?
And why are my lungs aching when I breathe?
Is there something wrong with the heat?
Why am I so cold?
My heart feels sick
And it hurts when I speak
So wake, wake up
Just wake, wake up
Was this what we hoped for?
Was this what we hoped for?
