Auto-Happy

Don’t smile at me*
Don’t smile at me
I’m trying to be dark and brooding
You rattle me
You rattle me
The needle won’t stop moving
You make me auto-happy
You make me sing to the houseplants
You make me sing to the houseplants
Lovingly
Auto-happy
You make me sing to the houseplants
You make me sing to the house
It’s animal
Animal
Impractical but fast
And painless
Electrical
Mechanical
You twist the wires in my chest
You make me auto-happy
You make me sing to the houseplants
You make me sing to the houseplants
Lovingly
Auto-happy
You make me sing to the houseplants
You make me sing to the house
I want a life, a real life
I want to get it right, get it right
You make me sing to the houseplants…
