Mirrors the theme of “Pessimistic Song”, which described a pessimistic person – seeing the glass half-empty etc. Instead this character is “happy as a clam” and making lemonade from lemons, with their own cliches, so much so that they start “slipping from reality” – positivity about yourself is good...
Oh I like to feel so good and happy as a, clam
To live my life in la-la land and never give a damn
Where everything is wonderful and I will be successful
I can add one to one and make it almost three
[And no way I can walk the dogs ?] to live in fantasy
I'll wring the sweetest lemonade from the sourest lemons
And take a rancid scene from Hell and think of it as Heaven
I only need to take a pill to stay like this forever
Look at me oh look at me I'm raining positivity, activity, naïvety
Look at me oh look at me I'm skipping from reality, I'm slipping from reality
Look at mе oh look at me I'm slipping from reality, I'm slipping from reality
[Vocalizations ("la la la" etc)]
