Lyrics The Leisure Society

The Leisure Society

Are We Happy

She said it's a tough, tough world

The things that I've seen, will leave you shivering

I set myself in to her, we changed like the lights

On a busy street

Checking constantly

That we're happy

To be here

She said let your whiskers grow

Bearing the lines, broken promises

You made to yourself and her

How does it feel

Sitting silently

In this room with me

Are you happy

To be here?

Are you happy

To be here?

Details are everything

Cut from the chase

To splint our shins

We cast long shadows now

Crimes from the past

Let us down

Time and again

On the night the comet came

Stared at the sky

And lit another one

Meanwhile the industrious birds

Harvest the bones

Filling beaks they go

Flitting to and fro

Are they happy

To be here?

Are we happy

To be here?
