Lyrics

LOVE, LIFE, HAPPINESS

Verse 1
The storm outside doesn?t bother us much
The window frosts up from our breath
Chocolate, wine, and roses by the reading lamp
Is this as good as it gets?

We can smile on command
We can walk hand in hand
We can dangle all our feelings right in front of where we stand
We can make it if we try
But now does that convince you why
Not to turn around and throw yourself onto another guy?


Half Chorus
Minus One on the totem pole
I hardly heard the sound
Of my smile hitting bottom
Wait for me here, I?m leaving town


Verse 2
As for stand in guy you can pride yourself
On Karma earned through lies
From your little tiny smirk, to your faux concern
I can?t believe such an asshole fits in tiny pint-size

You can sell your band?s clothes
To Thirteen Year Olds
You can rock the coffee house until 10 o?clock close
It ain?t been long yet
In years you?ll probably forget
But you?ll be worth to me as much as a Wham cassette



Chorus
Minus One on the Totem Pole
I hardly heard the sound
Of my smile hitting bottom
Wait for me here, I?m leaving town

You can stay here if you want to
I will gladly step aside
Here?s a toast to you both
Here?s to love, life, and happiness laced with cyanide

Bridge
When you see me ? How do you feel about yourself?
You?ve made it easy ? For me rinse my thoughts and spit you out

Verse 3
So how does it feel to bottle it up
When you shook it so goddamed hard?
I might seem pretty passive to most I meet
But you should watch your guard

I can offer plenty space
I can smile to your face
I can grab you by the neck and let my knee caress your face
Or I could leave it all alone
Disconnect the phone
But then you gotta hit the bricks ?cause baby this ain?t home

Chorus
Minus One on the Totem Pole
I hardly heard the sound
Of my smile hitting bottom
Wait for me here, I?m leaving town

You can take her if you want to
I will gladly step aside
Here?s a toast to you both
Here?s to love, life, and happiness laced with cyanide
