I've been long, a long way from here
|
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
|
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
|
|
Well, o.k. I made this up
|
I promised you I'd never give up
|
|
[Chorus]
|
If it makes you happy
|
It can't be that bad
|
If it makes you happy
|
Then why the hell are you so sad
|
|
You 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
|
|
Well, o.k. I still get stoned
|
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
We've been far, far away from here
|
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
|
And everywhere in between
|
Well, o.k. we get along
|
So what if right now everything's wrong?
|
|
[Chorus]
|
