Taken for a Ride Songtext
von Tally Hall

Marvin walked into a helpless land
And wondered lightly, am I happy?
Is this happy?

Following the footsteps left by man
He stepped to reprimand the mystic
Who′s sadistic?

Took a step into the elevator
Who said, "guess I'll see you later
Don′t you worry"

Fifteen flights that lasted nights
And days that spent without a cent
For creatures, with their beat shirts

Listening to painted whispered
Light on top forgotten hills

Next the stranded senate of the white brick house
With flowers asked some questions
For their story


All feeling now, he took his bow
And left the stage of time with no answers
To no questions

Lonely paperbacks that wanted
Just a taste of feeling, to implode them
Before living

Tiptoed to that wooden sign that said
"Now take your place in line for happy"
This is lovely

Listening to painted whispered
Light on top forgotten hills

One secondary smile
To go that extra mile
To make me feel today
To make it go away
The chemistry is gone
Taken for a ride
Far away from you
No longer left inside

The actor with his world renowned
Was thinking 'bout his last real day of silence
Was it over?


Or is it just we all think
That our answer isn't real, it′s just a picture
Of a letter

Bumble Mumble, take the route
No matter what, you′ll seem profound
It's useless just to worry

Something normal happens
Somewhere far away in clouds so please
Stop thinking, this is happy

Listening to painted whispered
Light on top forgotten hills

One secondary smile
To go that extra mile
To make me feel today
To make it go away
The chemistry is gone
Taken for a ride
Far away from you
No longer left inside

One secondary smile
To go that extra mile
To make me feel today
To make it go away
The chemistry is gone
Taken for a ride
Far away from you
No longer left inside

There no secrets in the door
Just a moment doing chores (don′t look so sad)
And there's something
And there′s something
And there's something
And there′s something
Next to nothing
And there's something
And there's something
But you′re gone
