Typhoon - Happy People lyrics

You're seething with smoke between your teeth It wraps your head inside the ghost of a burned-out Christmas wreath And you're trying to keep still within that frame You swallow your desires like swords from a sheath of cellophane It's a desert mirage that you follow It will disappear and relocate the moment you approach And in the distance changes color and form What was here a single cigarette now it's a life that isn't yours So would you hold my head? I'm happy to hear you've found true love's embrace But when the lights are low enough you can see the others' faces And you realize you've danced these steps before A miracle is what you want, a miracle is what you're waiting for But until then, we'll be patient and say We can't always be happy
