[00:01.03] The Happy Song - Voltaire
[00:02.79]
[00:03.66] A buddhist on the subway tells me that
[00:05.90]
[00:06.53] What you want is rarely if ever what you need
[00:10.40]
[00:13.09] And of course I argue the point
[00:16.28] Like a completely self righteous idiot
[00:18.66]
[00:36.97] I was looking for perfection
[00:39.15]
[00:41.53] And it found me right between the eyes
[00:45.96]
[00:49.47] All this time we spent in bliss
[00:52.53]
[00:53.03] You know like all things
[00:55.53]
[00:58.34] It has to fade away
[00:59.47]
[01:02.47] The Devil says Beware cause when you ask
[01:08.50]
[01:10.42] You might get what you want
[01:12.12]
[01:15.37] The Devil he may care when you ask
[01:21.44]
[01:23.31] You might get what you want
[01:25.05]
[01:28.55] So now I spend most of my time
[01:30.49]
[01:31.68] Waiting for things to happen
[01:32.81]
[01:34.80] Letting the wind take me where it will
[01:36.61]
[01:38.05] Only when it's done do you lose the veil
[01:40.87]
[01:42.87] You get so blind
[01:44.18]
[01:46.24] You never see the light coming down the tracks
[01:48.93]
[01:50.99] It keeps me hanging from a thread
[01:54.05]
[01:55.81] Devil drives the train
[01:57.43]
[01:59.17] Devil pass me by
[02:00.42]
[02:03.99] This is the happy song
[02:06.05]
[02:08.86] I wrote for you
[02:09.93]
[02:16.05] You know this is the happy song
[02:18.68]
[02:21.61] I never wrote for you
[02:23.12]
[02:27.05] And after all this time
[02:28.74]
[02:29.86] And after all the lies
[02:31.68]
[02:33.24] Never dreamed you would seem to me
[02:35.37]
[02:36.31] Little more than an ugly waste of time
[02:38.86]
[02:40.11] After all these precious opportunities
[02:42.92]
[02:45.73] That I had to set things right
[02:47.87] Dissolve like regrets in heaven they do
[02:52.24]
[02:54.37] And she said
[02:55.11]
[03:24.87] Anata no namae wo yuki ni kaku keredo mo nanimo iwanai
[03:48.77]
[03:51.06] This is the Happy song
[03:52.81]
[03:54.31] I wrote for you
[03:55.37]
[03:57.44] This is the Happy song
[03:59.25]
[04:00.63] I never wrote for you
[04:01.89]
[04:04.45] And after all this time
[04:05.95]
[04:07.14] And after all the lies
[04:08.83]
[04:10.52] Never dreamed you would seem to me
[04:12.89]
[04:13.64] Little more than an ugly waste of time
[04:16.27]
[04:17.39] After all these precious opportunities
[04:20.83]
[04:22.89] That I had to set things right
[04:25.39] Dissolve like regrets in heaven
[04:28.20]
[04:29.45] Zen
[04:31.14] Buddhist
[04:32.83] Heaven
