“Seldom are songs actually about girls in my life, but I when I choose to write them I try to act in conspiracy with my ‘muse'. On ‘Happiness Reigns,’ I was consciously trying to prevent the song from lyrically falling into this one-way ode to an idolized muse. Of course some of my favorite artists...
[Verse 1]
And
Darlin'
I'm so sorry
I went to my man
And picked up on Sunday
Sweetheart
Believe me
I've just been so damn tired
Wiped out completely
[Pre-Chrous]
Your soft skin
Your breasts
Your cigarettes
The tears in your eyes
You give and forget
You owe two months rent
And you live with a child
And sometimes he's a liar
[Chorus]
Flowers of uranium
And the kids just play along
Pictures of you and me in love
And the kids just play along
[Verse 2]
Darlin'
There's no one like you
Your presence and your love
Is like a perfume
Sweetheart
Covered in bruises
You wanna show 'em off
But they've got uses
[Pre-Chorus]
Your soft skin
Your breasts
Your cigarettes
The tears in your eyes
Your fingerprints and common sense
Have probably saved my life
Oh baby, please don't cry
[Chorus]
Flowers of uranium
And the kids just play along
Pictures of you and me in love
And the kids just play along
[Bridge]
I feel lost in my chords
You always did use bigger words
Are you afraid of a little dirt?
I promise you
You won't get hurt
[Chorus]
Flowers of uranium
And the kids just play along
Pictures of you and me in love
And the kids just play along
