HAPPINESS, DUST

The face that you wear
The skin that you trust
Happiness, happiness
Happiness, dust

They locked the doors
They took the key
I can't get out
I cannot see
This game is fixed
The advantage is known
They took the cash
That bird has flown

(chorus)
Dance on the line
And make us all smile
Laughter and grandeur
When you're in the aisle
When you're in the aisle
The world is alive
Give us a smile
Just for awhile
Give us a smile

It's always a joke
It's always a riff
Give me a drink
And please make it stiff
The market is hollow
The money ain't clean
I'm running on fumes, now
I'm running away

The reasons are many
The answers are few
The moment is fleeting
I mean, wouldn't you?

Time to release it
Time to unwind
No more pretending
No more spit-shine
I'm running on fumes, now
I'm running away

(chorus)
Dance on the line
And make us all smile
Laughter and grandeur
When you're in the aisle
When you're in the aisle
The world is alive
Give us a smile
Just for awhile
Give us a smile

The face that you wear
The skin that you trust
Happiness, happiness
Happiness, dust...
Dust and a smile
