If It Makes You Happy

If It Makes You Happy - Various Artists

I've been long

A long way from here

Put on a poncho

Played for mosquitoes

And drank 'til I was thirsty again

We went searching

Through thrift store jungles

Found Geronimo's rifle

Marilyn's shampoo

And Benny Goodman's corset and pen

Okay I made this up

I promised you I'd never give up

If it makes you happy

It can't be that bad

If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are you so sad

Get down real low down

You listen to Coltrane

Derail your own train

Well who hasn't been there before

I come round around the hard way

Bring you comics in bed

Scrape the mold off the bread

And serve you French toast again

Okay I still get stoned

I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

So it makes you happy

It can't be that bad

If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are you so sad

If it makes you happy

It can't be that bad

If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are you so sad

We've been far far away from here

Put on a poncho

Played for mosquitoes

And everywhere in between

Well okay we get along

So what if right now every thing's wrong

If it makes you happy

It can't be that bad

If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are you so sad

If it makes you happy

It can't be that bad

If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are you so sad
