Our Lady Peace - Happiness Is Not A Fish You Can Catch

take these plastic people
read their lips
now let it linger
is there anything
that makes them sound sincere?
come on
tightly hold your hand
take a deep breath
gice them the finger
are you worried that your thoughts are not quite clear?

Twitch!
overlooked
unfit appearence

Falling, I remember falling
I remember marching
I like a one man army
through the blaze I know I'm
coughing, I believe in something
I don't want to remember falling
for your lies

unbutton your clothes
undress your soul
show them your vigor
Are those inhibitions easiest to fear?
come on
take this gasoline tin
head up high
walk like a winner
let the bare feat be the last sounds
that they hear...

Twitch!...

falling, I remember falling
I remember marching
like a one man army
through the blaze I know I'm
coughing, I believe in something
I don't want to remember falling
I remember crawling through the waves
I know I'm falling
I don't want to remember falling
for their lies

I confess
everone is overweight
and I'm obsessed
talking is just masturbating
without the mess
adiction leaves you sad today
and unimpressed
I can't remember all the names
everyone you meet today
is just so fucking vain

Bored again by happiness
All those friends I've (die) lost in there
I've lost in there

I'm upset
happiness is not a fish
that you can cacth
imagination can't resist
the laziness
that pins your down get on your kness
everyone you meet today
is feeling useless and ashamed

Bored again...

But I won't remember
but I won't forget this
I won't forget the love
I lost in this

we live, we die
I don't know the reasons we ask why
we hate, we push
recent tests shoe we all are
misunderstood

Come on now
something's seizing
you know you lost your mind
you know we all need saving
she found you late last night
you feel the madness gaining
you know you just can't win
I'm just so tired of waking up on
the ground

I never knew the girl
I never knew the world hurt

we beg, we pray
but everything still happens anyway

Come on now
something's teasing
your conscience can't decide
she kept your will from caving
but left you paranoid
you feel the constant straining
she reappears devine
you noticed, you noticed
but I'm just so tired of waking
up all alone

I never knew the girl...

Lately I can't breathe
Waiting, they're chasing me Only, I wonder why
if only, my hands weren't tied
worlds a blister
but I'm okay with it

Don't touch me

What if I was there
and what if I was scared
I'm waiting for...
they're at my door
But I'll be back again

Lonely, I'm wandering
patrolling for enemies
no one listens but I'm okay with it

Don't trust me

What if I was there...

Goodbye the future's sold out
There's no use screaming
who thought we'd ever get this far

Tonight your faith has come down
to money & a TV
psychics who've never been to Mars
and nazis breast feeding
I know you must be upset
I can't find meaning
I'm sorry, we're sorry
we're all scared, all scared

Hey, is anybody home?
has anybody wasted tears on
loneliness that everyone...

Goodnight the truth has come out
and everyone's needy
white teeth, a ticket to meet God
be all that you envy
shotgun under your bed has
started breathing
you shot it, you shot it
I'm bare, I'm bare

Hey, is anybody home?
has anybody wasted tears on
loneliness that everyone becomes
Is anybody alone?
has anybody painted fear
on bedroom walls that save us from...
And hey is anybody home?
has anybody wasted tears on
loneliness that everyone becomes
when they're not allright

Hey Is anybody home?
has anybody wasted tears on
loneliness that everyone becomes
Is anybody alone?
has anybody painted fear
on bedroom walls that
everyone becomes
becomes
loneliness that everyone
becomes

Hit the ground
weighed down again
you walked out
But I'm sure you're my friend

It must have been good
This can't be forgood
Everyone's...
is everyone ok

I waited
Oh I, oh I
waited
But I must be too
dumb to be proud
because I waited, I waited

Woke to sounds
I prayed you were there
I fell back down
But I'm sure you still, care

It must have been good
this can't be forgood
everyone's...
is everyone ok

I waited...

Oh I must of bored
in my mind
I must of been good

Waited...

I don't want to understand
this horror
There's a weight in your eyes
I can't admit
everybody ends up here
in bottles
but the name tag's the last
thing you wanted

As the world explodes
we fall out of it
But we can't let go
because this will not go away
there's a house built out in space

I can't see that theif
that lives inside of your head
but I can be some courage at
the side of you bed
I don't know what's happening
and I can't pretend
But I can be your, be your

Someone help us understand
who ordered this disgusting
arrangement, time and the end
I don't want to hear who walked
on water, because the hallways are empty
and the clock ticks

As the world implodes
we fall into it
and we can't go home
because this will not go away
there's a house built out in space

I can't see that theif...

It's a long, long get away
make it home again

I can't see that theif...

I'm here to wear you out
I'm here to watch you hide
nothing to figure out
I'm here to watch you die
runnin away from the breast of
your busy giant healing machine

Nobody left in line
no one to make you shine
hanging on to the backs of
opinions you borrowed & betrayed

lying awake
don't ask why
you should pay for this
you mother
another
a shameless abusing
but this time we're saving you

I'm here to break you down
I'm here to bury time
nothing to talk about
nothing to change my mind
running away from the breast of
your busy giant healing machine

Lying awake...

You're a little bit shy
a little too quiet
you're the mixed up girl
that everybody leaves behind
a little bit weird
A little too bright
but you just might be
that little bomb at their side
they'll pull your hair
they'll leave you wide-eyed
but did anybody wonder
what Annie might have in mind
Oh no...

Something in the way that
she explains to me
"please be careful, I exist
in someone elses head"
oh no...
there's something in the way
that she makes believe
please be careful
Annie dreams that everyone is dead

You're a little bit dry
A little up tight
you're the messed up girl
that everybody tries to hide
you've had enough
they're too unkind
but did anyone consider
what Annie might have in mind
Oh no...

Something in the way...

take all your pills and
devide them by color & size
take all your problems
advice them everything's fine
since you ran away you're been
beating you habits to death
But if you were to stay would
you feed them to this white happiness

Nobody wants to harm you
when you're outside
but it's hard to believe
when everyone's killing time
but somebody know's you're
not laughing, you're not laughing

take all your pills and
devide them by number and might
take all your problems
chastice them because everything's fine
since you've ran away you've been
beating those ladders instead
but if you were to stay would you
feed them with violence

Nobody wants to harm you...

I'm teething on answers you're saving
how are you going to help me sleep agian
I'm dreaming, you're stealing babies
how are you going to make me understand
how should I say "I'm so sorry"
how should we pray to know that we're alive

Eve stands alone
by the knock on the door
by the thin in her bones
She's couragous and loving
exhaustd & cold
she's not ready to go
but the ghost on the phone
helps her safely into her dream

you're leaving pieces of family
how are you going to make them understand
I'm screamng while you're stealing babies
why do you want to knock us down again?
how should I say "I'm so sorry"
how should we pray to make us feel alive

Eve stands alone...

It must be our egos
It must be my life
I'm praying that it might
not come back
it must be our egos
it must be my life
I'm praying that it might
not come back
I just wait down again
I wait down again
I just wait down again
I wait down again
wait down
wait down
down, down, down...
