lyrics

I could be a shy boy, looking at sky boy
Always asking why boy, learning how to die boy
I could get the notion, of a happiness potion
Use it as a lotion, step across the ocean

Chorus
I chewed my leg off in the happiness trap
That’s one less leg that I’ll never get back
I took of the reins, shook the chains off my back
And I never looked back at the happiness trap

I could flee the darkness, the existential starkness
Say goodbye to parties, like a kamikaze
I could choose the pain, from a menu of disdain
As I walk this mortal plain, cos I won’t be back again

Chorus
I chewed my leg off in the happiness trap
That’s one less leg that I’ll never get back
I took of the reins, shook the chains off my back
And I never looked back at the happiness trap


I could be a thinker, better than a drinker
Do a bit of yoga, be an esoteric soldier
I could visualize with my eyes upon the prize
Surrender to the lies, eating pie up in the sky

Chorus
I chewed my leg off in the happiness trap
That’s one less leg that I’ll never get back
I took of the reins, shook the chains off my back
And I never looked back at the happiness trap
