This is all that you desire
To watch the world come alive,
But then it saddens you, over and over.


This is how the world comes alive, over and over
This is what it takes to survive,

Over and over and over.

And the things you want to acquire, over and over,

Will make your world come alive, over and over,
But then it saddens you, baby, it's over.


But I was thinking to myself,
I said, "Self, you've got to work it out on a
Milligram of happiness

(And another just to help you.)
That's the way that all of us get by."
I was thinking that this one could be

The best life it ever was.
Just don't let a single day go by.


This is all that you require, over and over.
To watch the world come alive on somebody's shoulder.
But then it saddens you, baby, it's over.


Hey "self" you've got to work it out
On a Milligram of happiness!

(And another just to help you.)
That's the way that all of us get by.
I was thinking that this one could be

The best life it ever was.
Just don't let a single day go by.
