Let me guess how you spend the days
All alone in your head maze
You've got to find a way out
I'll tell you what it's about,
so listen closely now
You don't see the good in life,
you only see futility
You don't look for happiness,
you maximize utility
If this is how you choose to be,
then don't you hope for company
You're always thinking cynically,
you're happy in your misery, but
You wind up feeling like an echo
You wind up feeling like a beggar's son
But if you get to feeling
better
Let me guess how you spend your nights
All alone in your bed, right?
I'll tell you why this is so,
I really think you should know
So listen closely now
Your equation happiness
is equal to stupidity
It's all confusing, tranquil lies
with longing for tranquility
If this is how you choose to be
And if you let the bile in
What then?
Always thinking cynically
Your sadness has you smiling, but then
You find you're feeling like a leper
You find you're feeling
like a beggar, son
But if your heart starts feeling better
You get the feeling that
your head is gone
Well you're building a head too
All alone in your bedroom
Ooh, oo h, oo h
I
just want to be
with you
