Happy Idiot
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.
Stuck in the shade
Where there's no sunshine
I don't wanna play
With them other kids in the sun
Since you left me, babe
It's been a long way down
Yeah, you left me, babe
It's been a long way down
What you don't know won't hurt you, yeah
Ignorance is bliss
I'm a happy idiot
Waving at cars
I'm gonna bang my head to the wall
'Till I feel like nothing at all
I'm a happy idiot
To keep my mind off you
Stuck in a daze and I've lost my mind
I don't wanna stay
Where the blame's all mine
Since you left me, babe
It's been a long way down
Yeah, you left me, babe
It's been a long way down
So, I shut it off
So, I shut it all off
So, I shut it off
So, I shut it all off
It's been a long way down
It's been a long way down
What you don't know won't hurt you, yeah
Ignorance is bliss
I'm a happy idiot
Waving at cars
I'm gonna bang my head to the wall
'Till I feel like nothing at all
I'm a happy idiot
To keep my mind off you
To keep my mind off you
To keep my mind off you
