作曲 : Mulvey | |
Old Simon Stimson was once in love with me | |
when I was solid as a smokescreen, bluer than a tree. | |
But all of this has changed and now I'm faster than a clam-- | |
I'm sober as a churchkey, just as happy as I am. | |
Once I could get by on the forty-dollar dole | |
in a carton made of duct tape on a pallet on the floor | |
bottle empties quick these days, and flim has come to flam. | |
but it's kind of hard to tell when you're as happy as I am. | |
Brilliant as a box of hammers, fragile as the moon, | |
stylish as a jaybird, sneaky as a spoon. | |
Heavy as the bluest note, true as any sham, | |
safe as a house on fire, just as happy as I am. | |
I was dreaming that you were what I was dreaming of, | |
louder than a lighthouse that's been whispering of love, | |
funny as the Pope on fire, ferocious as a lamb, | |
and all I hope... is that you... are... | |
As stormy as a teacup, as fragile as the moon, | |
stylish as a jaybird, sneaky like a spoon. | |
Heavy as the bluest note, true as any sham, | |
safe as a house on fire, just as happy as I am. | |
All I hope is that you are as happy as I am. |
