She said, "It's a tough, tough world"   "The things that I've seen would leave you shivering"   I sank myself into her   We change like the lights on a busy street   Checking constantly   That's we're happy to be here      She said, "Let your whiskers grow"   "They bury the lines, the broken promises you made to yourself and her"   "How does it feel"   "Sitting silently, in this room with me?"   "Are you happy to be here?"      Details are everything   We cut from the chase to splint our shins   We cast long shadows now   The crimes from the past will let us down, time and again      On the night the comet came I started at the sky and lit another one   Meanwhile the industrious birds harvest the bugs   Filling beaks they go   Flitting to and fro   Are they happy to be here?   Are we happy to be here?
