Am           C              G          Am
It's been so long since you crossed my mind

I find ways to pass the time

Am      C                   G        Am

That old comedian we lived above
Asked me to send his love
He's chasing Andy Warhol's pillow box
Down 5th avenue in his sock

He's been frames like the kid from Muskogee
By the politics of war
But riddle me this what happiness is yours

I hope this letter finds you safe and well
Like an oyster in a shell
I will see you when I take my rest
On the lunatic express

And all my constituents agree
We're as lost as the letter in the sea
In this universe of bars
But riddle me this what happiness is ours
