Taken for a Ride

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 So 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 [Pre-Chorus] Listening to painted whispered Light on top forgotten hill [Verse 2] 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 that wooden sign that said "Now take your place in line for happy This is lovely" [Pre-Chorus] Listening to painted whispered Light on top forgotten hill [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] The actor with his world renown 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, make the rounds 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 [Pre-Chorus] Listening to painted whispered Light on top forgotten hill [Chorus] 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 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 [Outro] There're no secrets in the door Just a moment doing chores (don't look so sad) And there's something, and there's something And there's something, and there's something Next to nothing And there's something, and there's something But you're gone
