Happpiness/the gondola man

Activity´s killing the actor
And a cop´s standing out in the road
Turning traffic away
There was nothing she could do until after
When his body´d been buried below
Way back in the day
Oh my, nothing else could´ve been done
He made his life a lie
So he might never have to know anyone
Made his life the lie you know
I told him he shouldn´t upset her
And that he´d only be making it worse
Involving somebody else
But I knew that he´d never forget her
While her memory worked in reverse
To keep her safe from herself
And oh my, nothing else could´ve been done
She made her life a lie
So she might never have to know anyone
Made her life the lie you know
What I used to be will pass away and then you´ll see
That all I want now is happiness for you and me
What I used to be will pass away and then you´ll see
That all I want now is happiness for you and me
What I used to be will pass away and then you´ll see
That all I want now is happiness for you and me
And a cop´s standing out in the road
Turning traffic away
There was nothing she could do until after
When his body´d been buried below
Way back in the day
Oh my, nothing else could´ve been done
He made his life a lie
So he might never have to know anyone
Made his life the lie you know
I told him he shouldn´t upset her
And that he´d only be making it worse
Involving somebody else
But I knew that he´d never forget her
While her memory worked in reverse
To keep her safe from herself
And oh my, nothing else could´ve been done
She made her life a lie
So she might never have to know anyone
Made her life the lie you know
What I used to be will pass away and then you´ll see
That all I want now is happiness for you and me
What I used to be will pass away and then you´ll see
That all I want now is happiness for you and me
What I used to be will pass away and then you´ll see
That all I want now is happiness for you and me
