Slender Means - Are You Happy Now lyrics

The dry brittle bones of birds That would not eat and were deserted And made small sounds in high trees The heart needs Something of substance to weather the long months Of slender means and purposeless Ingestion of superfluous Medications for the heartsick And the precious damaged children Weary of advertisements everywhere Telling them all they need Is this and this and this and Then you can be happy now Are you happy now? Woke up to the sound of the tap Water running, overflowing Your head opened up on the bathroom floor You try to remember, try to remember The dream you were having, it seemed so inviting Slender means and purposeless Ingestion of superfluous Medications for the heartsick And the precious damaged children Weary of advertisements everywhere Telling them all they need Is this and this and this and Then you can be happy now Are you happy now? Oh, now I remember everything It was so wonderful, yeah, so wonderful She was driving in a sleeveless dress And we listened to the radio It was a lovely song
