When the letter came
It was soggy from the rain
The ink was thin and runnin'
And I know the author was the same
'Cause I am he, he is me, we are they
All handlin' problems in our own way
He said, "I don't need a lecture to tell me where it's at
They're full of good opinions and I can respect that
But I don't need the halos playin' with my light
Sure my lines aren't as smooth as they used to be
But that's alright"
"Are you gonna be like them?" he asked
"Are you gonna shut your door?
'Cause this side of me is ugly
'Cause I'm supposed to be more
Do you think that I am crazy?
Do you think that I'm naive?
'Cause these poisons are my passion
'Cause I'm livin' in a dream"
Well, I haven't got an answer
Ba-da-da-da-dee-la-no-no
I haven't got a clue
Ba-da-da-da-dee-la-no-no
Whatever makes you happiest
Ba-da-da-da-dee-la-do
I suppose that's what you'll do
Oh, those pastimes keep me oh yeah
This present makes me say
"I could love you more than I've been doin'
And I could judge you less than I know"
I say, "What could be the answer?"
Would you whisper in my ear
Another quote from the last book you read, dear?
I thought that I could be the one
Your perfect maiden
'Cause in the right light, squint your eyes
I'm just right
If you can imagine happy moments by my side
Those memories will be the gift from me
My only advice
'Cause I haven't got an answer
Ba-da-da-da-dee-la-no-no
I haven't got a clue
Ba-da-da-da-dee-la-no-no
Whatever makes you happiest
Ba-da-da-da-dee-la-do
I suppose that's what you'll do
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
When the letter came
It was soggy from the rain
The ink was thin and runnin'
And I know the author was the same
'Cause I am he, he is me, we are they
