This Isn't Happiness - The Temper Trap

High up in the Hollywood hills, taking violet pills Writin' all of my songs about my cheap thrills You're a hard man to love, and I'm A hard woman to keep track of You like to rage, don't do that You want your way, you make me so mad Got your gun, I've got my dad Is this happiness? Is this happiness? Is this happiness? Is this happiness? High up in the Hollywood hills, crushin' violet pills You've been tryin' to write a novel about your cheap thrills You think you're Hunter S. Thompson I think you're fucking crazy as the day's long Man to man, heart to heart I love you, but you drive me so far Wish you well on that star Is this happiness? Is this happiness? Is this happiness? Is this happiness? Witch Hazel, Witch Hazel Betrayal, betrayal One gun on the table Headshot if you're able Is this happiness? Is this happiness? Is this happiness? Is this happiness?

And have you ever wanted something so badly That it possessed your body and your soul Through the night and through the day Until you finally get it And then you realize that it wasn't what you wanted after all And then those selfsame sickly little thoughts Now go and attach themselves to something or somebody new And the whole goddamn thing starts all over again Well, I've been crushing the symptoms But I can't locate the cause Could God really be so cruel? To give us feelings that could never be fulfilled Baby, I've got my sights set on you, I've got my sight set on you And someday, someday, someday, you'll come my way But when you put your arms around me I'll be lookin' over your shoulder for somethin' new 'Cause I ain't ever found peace upon the breast of a girl I ain't ever found peace with the religion of the world I ain't ever found peace at the bottom of a glass Sometimes it seems the more I ask for, the less I receive Sometimes it seems the more I ask for, the less I receive The only true freedom is freedom from the heart's desires And the only true happiness this way lies

This time, I'll comfort I saw you standing And I am by your cage I think you should wait now I hear you calling I'm reaching you my hand I can hear you now I can hear you calling And I say hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Won't you come down? Won't you come down? And I say hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Won't you come down? Won't you come down? This isn't our parade This time all we heard Forever blending I bridle all my rage You won't make me buy that And I hear you calling No, you won't understand But I'm near you now I can see you falling And I say hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Won't you come down? Won't you come down? And I say hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Won't you come down? Won't you come down? This isn't our parade Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey (oh Lord) Hey, hey, hey, hey, heya (oh Lord) And I say hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Won't you come down? Won't you come down? And I say hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Won't you come down? Won't you come down? This isn't our parade This isn't our parade
