Happiness Will Ruin This Place

San Fermin

Compositor: Ellis Ludwig-Leone

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 cafe
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
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 through 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 anything about me

Oh it’s no surprise
I lost my way
Happiness will ruin this place
