Intro Chorus
Once I was happy in happy extremes.
These bitter tokens are worthless to me.
verse 1
So you appear and say how I've grown,
And fill me up with faces I've known.
In this light they're far from divine,
I've saved them up,
I'll spend them when I have
time.
verse 2
The salted taste of all your tears and woes,
Sent me in haste, my melancholy rose,
Those tasteless lips were closed,
You watched me come, now see me go.
Once I was happy in happy extremes,
Packing my bags for the path of the free.
From pillar to post I am driven, it seems.
These bitter tokens are worthless to me.
verse 3
Just like June, the curtains are closed
The ghost of shame, he sits here and sighs.
I'll love the flames like I loved the cold
I'll learn to love the life
Of the "Could I, could I,
could I"
verse 4
So I won't cross my fingers any more
You looked for rags,
And found them at your door,
How could you ask for more
Than every thing you've heard before?
Once I was happy in happy extremes,
Packing my bags for the path of the free.
From pillar to post I am driven, it seems.
These bitter tokens are worthless to me.

Once I was happy in happy extremes,
Packing my bags for the path of the free.
From pillar to post I am driven, it seems.
These bitter tokens are worthless to me.
Once I was happy in happy extremes,
Packing my bags for the path of the free.
From pillar to post I am driven, it seems.
These bitter tokens are worthless to me.
