From the 1994 cassette release 'I'm No Angel' (Runaway Music)

lyrics

Happy has a silver gun he holds up to his head
He says I wish I was a sinner
Living in a castle dark with the things nobody said
We could all be good time sinners
The light began to fall under a bridge down by the river
I heard him talk about the girl inside the wall
It was the source of my obsession

Happy doesn’t see you when he looks at you that way
He feels the whole world is his prison
Happy likes to please you when he comes around to say
The best of friends in a new position
The stuff that makes up dreams through the fabric at the seams
Sweating in an old skin The desert sand is dry
Amanda Barefoot was my reason

Happy doesn’t see you when he looks at you that way
The closing door is a mystery open
Happy likes to tease you when he comes around to play
Hiding blue raindrops in the ocean
The soft room near to sleep where the lines divide and meet
Temper the attraction Mother the excess
Amanda Barefoot was my treason

Happy has a silver bullet he keeps under his bed
He says I wish I was a winner
Living in a castle dark with the things nobody said
We could all be big time winners
The light began to fall under a bridge down by the river
I heard him talk about the girl inside the wall
It was the source of my obsession

I watched a white dove sail I heard a woman call
The night was dark and the story ended
