Marvin walked into a helpless land and wondered lightly

       Ab                Eb      Bb
"Am I happy?....Is this happy?"

Cmaj7                          Em
Following the footsteps set by man he said to reprimand

     Ab              Eb      Bb
the mystic, Who's sadistic

Took a step into the elevaaaator who said,

                     Ab               Eb      Bb
"Guess I'll see you later, don't you worry."

Fifteen flights that lasted nights and days that spent

Listening to painted whispered light on top forgotten hill

Next the stranded senate from the white brick house with flowers

            Ab                   Eb    Bb
asked some questions for their story

    Cmaj7                            Em
All feeling now he took his bow and left the stage of time

        Ab             Eb       Bb
with no answers to no questions

Cmaj7                          Em
Lonely paperbacks that wanted just a taste of feeling

       Ab                Eb     Bb
to implode them, before living

Cmaj7                             Em
Tiptoed to that wooden sign that said,

                                  Ab             Eb     Bb
"now take your place in line for happy, this is lovely"

the actor with his world renowned was thinking

                            Ab             Eb     Bb
'bout his last real day of silence, was it over?

   Cmaj7                              Em
