Taken for a Ride - Tally Hall

Marvin walked into a helpless land,

And wondered lightly am I happy?

Is this happy?

Following the footsteps left by man

He stepped to reprimand the mystic

Who’s sadistic

Took a step into the elevator

Who said guess I’ll see you later

Don’t you worry

Fifteen flights that lasted nights

And days that spent without a cent

For creatures, with their beat shirts.

Listening to painted whispered

Light on top forgotten hills

Next the stranded senate of the white brick house

With flowers asked some questions.

For their story

All feeling now he took his bow

And left the stage of time with no answers

To no questions

Lonely paperbacks that wanted

Just a taste of feeling to implode them

Before living

Tiptoed to the wooden sign and said

Now take your place in line for happy

This is lovely

Listening to painted whispered

Light on top forgotten hills

One secondary smile

To go that extra mile

To make me feel today

To make it go away

The chemistry is gone

Taken for a ride

Far away from you

No longer left inside

The actor with his world renowned

Was thinking 'bout his last real day of silence

Was it over?

Or is it just we all think

That our answer isn’t real, it’s just a picture

Of a letter

Bumble Mumble, take the route

No matter what, you’ll seem profound

It’s useless just to worry

Something normal happens

Somewhere far away in clouds so please

Stop thinking;

this is happy.

Listening to painted whispered

Light on top forgotten hills

One secondary smile

To go that extra mile

To make me feel today

To make it go away

The chemistry is gone

Taken for a ride

Far away from you

No longer left inside

(repeat)

There no secrets in the door

Just a moment doing chores

(There's nothing there)

And there’s something 4x

Next to nothing

And there’s something 2x

But you’re gone
