I've never been a poet
I know my English is bad
My life tends to get messy
And I change course like others change their shirt

I saw a crack in the ceiling
I stared at it for hours
But not everything needs meaning
And I turned off the lights and I left

And I’m happy (happy)
yes i am
and I’m happy (happy)
yeah I am

There's a pair of shoes
Lying abandoned on the floor
And I ask myself
"What good are they for?”

I could clean ‘em up and make ‘em shiny
wear ‘em for a few more miles
Oh the world looked different in the dark
And it looks different when you start to care

And I’m happy (happy)
yes i am
and I’m happy (happy)
yeah I am

and I let the black dogs
off their short leash
I set ‘em free so I could be free
I set ‘em free so I could be free

and I let the black dogs
off their short leash
I set ‘em free so I could be free
I set ‘em free so I could be free
I set ‘em free so I could be free
and I watch the cat play with its prey

And I’m happy (happy)
yes i am
and I’m happy (happy)
yeah I am
