Not Too Far From Happy

Not too far from happy

Still close to grief and shame

But I'm no longer shattered

The razor missed the vein

I'm putting on my best suit

I'm dusting off my hat

Tonight is a blank page

Let's see what you got

Not too far from happy

And I still know my name

I fell out of the window

And landed in the snow

Stayed there for a whole year

Where nothing seemed to grow

But slowly I defrosted

And crawled out of the clay

Brushed off the filth that put me there

Got up and walked away

Not too far from happy

And I still know my name

Scratching on the surface

Of what lies underneath

The dark night holds a promise

Between its jagged teeth

Her eyes are brown and sad like mine

Her lips are quite obscene

She looks like she just stepped out of

A rusted limousine

Not too far from happy

Hey baby, what's your name?
