Lyrics
I am the one to give you love again
I am the one to save your soul, amen!
As the shadows, they are forming, come and join me centre stage
Oh, what a happy land we live in
If you're empty and abstracted and your broken heart is full of rage
Oh, what a happy land, oh yeah
In a world of fiction, I am a velvet glove
Oh, what a happy land we live in
I am your soul, your resurrection, I am the love
Oh, what a happy land, oh yeah
So look out to the west now, see where the devil lies
Oh, what a happy land we live in
Its pharmakon is with you and your empire, it is paralysed
Oh, what a happy land, oh yeah
I'll propagate eternity and seal it with my kiss
Oh, what a happy land we live in
So look into the coffin and let me grant your wish
Oh, what a happy land, oh yeah
No more bad news
So you can sleep well at night
And the palace of your mind will be bright
Everything is slowing down, yet everything is faster
Oh, what a happy land we live in
While everyone's consuming, I'll save you from yourself
Oh, what a happy land, oh yeah
Upon this world of fiction, my love, I will bestow
Oh, what a happy land we live in
And as we march into the future, happiness will grow
Oh, what a happy land, oh yeah
No more bad news
So you can sleep well at night
And the palace of your mind will be bright
Everything is slowing down, yet faster
Consuming, I'll save you from yourself
My love bestowed on this world of fiction
March to the future, happiness grows
Are you not better off than ever?
Are you not better off right now?
Be bright
When have you felt this way, I ask you?
When have you felt better off than now?
I am the one to give you love again
I am the one to save your soul, amen!
No more bad news
Mountains and rainbows, palaces of love
So you can sleep well at night
And the palace of your mind will be bright
Mountains and rainbows, palaces of love
So you can sleep well at night
And the palace of your mind will be bright
