The Happy Goth

(album: Absent Friends - 2004)

"The lonely road you choose to travel on
It must seem awfully long
Innocence all gone
It must be wrong to hide your lovely face away

That music you play, I'm not saying it's bad
It just seems terribly sad
Is everything all right?
I'd like to think you'd tell me if something was wrong"

Well her clothes are blacker than the blackest cloth
And her face is whiter than the snows of Hoth
She wears Dr. Martens and a heavy cross
But on the inside she's a happy goth

"Don't worry Mum, don't worry Dad
The hours that I spend alone are the happiest I've ever had"

That's what she'd say if she ever spoke to you
But it's something she can never do
'Cause it's only by herself
That she'll find out what makes her different from the rest

Well her clothes are blacker than the blackest cloth
And her face is whiter than the snows of Hoth
She wears Dr. Martens and a heavy cross
But on the inside she's a happy goth
