A man of mostly bones found himself in love
And didn't know what to do
Said “All that I ever want, to be two places at once
Either way, you lose”
Killing off other plans, he got into a van
And found a place in the country
Said “It's all downhill from here, honey, don't be scared
I'm ready to be happy”
“When I close my eyes, I can see your face
I wanna know everything about you
We could grab our lives and run away
Happiness will ruin this place”
Here in the present day in a dark café
There's something large at stake
Says “All that I ever want, to be two places at once”
And pokes around in an ashtray
“Honey, can you see the bloodstains on my teeth?
I'm not the beast I used to be”
Silence intervenes, she looks up from her tea
Says “Everything goes extinct”
“When I close my eyes, I don't see your face
I don't know anything about you
Oh it's no surprise you lost your way
Happiness will ruin this place”
Followed by a brood of children to the zoo
A wonder he can recognize
There's a moment where he sees in the chimpanzees
Sympathetic eyes
“The problem that you have, you're living in a trap
Regret, it eats away at you
Two places or one, there's nowhere to run
Either way you lose”
“I could close my eyes, but it's all too late
They don't know anything about me
Oh, it's no surprise I lost my way
Happiness will ruin this place”
