Happiness/The Gondola Man

Elliott Smith

Lyrics

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
