Taken for a Ride Lyrics

von 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
