If It Makes You Happy - Live From Central Park/1999

I've been long

A long way from here

I put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes

And drank 'til I was thirsty again

We went searching

Through thrift store jungles

Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo

Benny Goodman's corset and pen

But alright, I made this up

I promised you I'd never give up

If it makes you happy

It can't be that bad

If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are you so sad?

You get down

Real low down

You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train

Who hasn't been there before?

I come around

Around the hard way

Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread

And serve you French toast again

Well alright, I still get stoned

I'm not the kinda girl you'd take home

If it makes you happy

It can't be that bad

If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are you so sad?

If it makes you happy

It can't be that bad

If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are you so sad?

We've been far

Far away from here

Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes

Everywhere in between

Alright, we get along

So what if right now everything's wrong?

If it makes you happy

It can't be that bad

If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are you so sad?

If it makes you happy

It can't be that bad

If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are you so sad? Whoo
