No Such Thing

No Such Thing

Happy birthday what’s that mean
Another year in the bank

Pocketful of painful memories

Only got myself to thank

Tangled up the sour and the sweet

Till I couldn’t taste either one

Never knew what life could mean

Till I held my newborn son

Don’t you try to whisper sugar dreams in my ear

There’s no such thing as happiness, well that’s my story

There’s no such thing as happiness, so I’ve been told

Well Honey, all you are is either cursed or blessed

There ain’t no room for yuppie words like happiness

You break into my room at night

You say you know how I feel

But you’re telling me I’m not doing it right

I shouldn’t chase down an ideal

I tangled up the golden and the black

Till my heart became colorblind

But I never found a trophy or a Cadillac

That ever gave me peace of mind

Don’t you try to whisper sugar dreams in my ear

There’s no such thing as happiness, well that’s my story

There’s no such thing as happiness, so I’ve been told

Well Honey, all you are is either cursed or blessed

There ain’t no room for yuppie words like happiness

You can do the impossible,

anything is possible, and that’s it, no more

There’s no such thing as happiness, well that’s my story

There’s no such thing as happiness, so I’ve been told

Well Honey, all you are is either cursed or blessed

There ain’t no room for yuppie words like happiness
