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 

Well  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 

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  I still get stoned

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

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 her
