Happiness Is A Chemical

On the glass that wraps the telephone box

An impatient bystander knocks

Put the receiver back down in it's place

In the some things should be said to the face

I'm a believer

You're stripped of all your worldly powers

And starring at the opposite apartment block for hours

You say that each window is just a TV channel

And you'd surrender all your so-called friends for flowers

And you'd rather be sleeping in the paddock with the horses

While the stars cross the sky's on their prescribed courses

Can you take me with you when you go?

Because love is just a lazy generalisation that we use for 100 different

feelings and as many situations going through each others pockets is not like

us and flattery will get you somewhere and your happiness is just a chemical

A constant feeling you're being watched

All your good intentions so clumsily botched

A kiss sent down the telephone line can come out sounding like a bug getting

And grasshoppers fling erratic parabolas

While you're drowning ants with your can of cola

Can you take me with you when you go?

Separate the parts and give them titles

Lungs are for songs and eyes are for feasting

And butter's for a bee sting

Can somebody please check my vitals?
