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.
Well this is not that
I'm happy and I'm jumping over rainbows
Dressed in yellow
Got balloons and having big fun, fun
Do you want some
Tired from trying to be be strong
Emotionally drained and looking for a friend
In need of 29 things
To make life easy, to make life easy
Well this is not that
I'm happy and I'm jumping over rainbows
Dressed in yellow, got balloons and having big fun, fun
Do you want some
The problem with problems
Is they take up too much time
And too many issues
Of the heart leaves me crying
I'm naked on a mountain but I still don't feel free
You know how frustrating this universe can be
Well this is not that
I'm happy and I'm jumping over rainbows
Dressed in yellow
Got balloons and having big fun, fun
Do you want some
I like beautiful things
You don't buy me diamonds, you don't bring me flowers
I don't wanna feel how much I need you
More than you need me, more than you need me
My head in my hand
No signpost at the crossroad
No real solution
Have we come to our dead end?
I'm naked on a mountain but I still don't feel free
You know how frustrating this universe can be
I'm naked on a mountain but I still don't feel free
You know how frustrating this universe can be
Well this is not that
I'm happy and I'm jumping over rainbows
Dressed in yellow
Got balloons and having big fun, fun
Do you want some
