PET NEEDS - Only Happy
She said she'd come to Berlin
To find the man that she would marry
She had flown in from South Africa
For the one that would look after her
It was written in the lines
In the palms of her destiny
She had this premonition
That one day she would be happy
As if happiness (happiness)
Was a permanent state
And it just happened that she had this predetermined fate
That happiness was static
And just one small step away
★ Chorus - Johnny Marriot ★
I don't wanna be only happy in this world
I wanna feel the burn
I wanna feel the knot of nervеs in the last rehearsal
As wе're lost for words when we make it work
★ Verse 2 - Johnny Marriot ★
Is happiness contentment?
Or the absence of sadness?
The epitome of excitement?
Or the antithesis of stress?
If we define something by what it's not
Does it exist in it's own right?
Is it permanent? Or transient?
Or just there
To sell us a lifestyle that's always a small step away?
Or just there
To sell us a sugary drink?
★ Chorus - Johnny Marriot ★
I don't wanna be only happy in this world
I wanna feel the burn
I wanna feel the knot of nerves in the last rehearsal
As we're lost for words when we make it work
★ Verse 3 - Johnny Marriot and Micah Schnabel ★
He said I'm not an artist (an artist)
I understand grandiose delusions unmanageable
But the Prince Charming business
Is empty, unfair and untenable
We can't exist on empty platitudes
And Coca-Cola fizz
We got to get our hand down in the dirt here
That's where real life gets lived
And flowers are nice
But nothing makes my heart tick faster
Than the topsy-turvy last minute dodge of near disaster
Let's not close our eyes on the ride
I wanna wave my hands around like an idiot
And when the time is right
Beg something or someone for forgiveness
★ Bridge - Johnny Marriot and Micah Schnabel together ★
(Happiness, just there) If she just forgot to think
(Happiness, just there) If she just forgot to think
★ Chorus - Johnny Marriot ★
I don't wanna be only happy in this world
I wanna feel the burn
I wanna feel the knot of nerves in the last rehearsal
As we're lost for words when we make it work
★ Outro ★
Yeah!
Just there!
