We take shelter in TV and booze
Wishing well the life makers
And dream fakers that keep hearts yearning
All those fecund young minds to infect
With that attractive central defect
That happiness is possible
Now I know you say we are old and jaded
Partly true, partly misguided
Because the opposite is true
We see the future and it should not
Be taken lightly - just like Keira Knightley
Sure she can't act but look at those lips
They promise the world but do they deliver?
No! And yet so perfect in so many ways
I will follow her to the end of my days
Like some slavish lapdog and think: yes
This is happiness... this is as good as it gets
