One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This

It's a maimed happiness
I keep trying to acquiesce
It's like a tempestuous child
You play with and humor to keep
Quiet as you possibly can
Til finally it goes to sleep
Life takes a lot of finesse
It's a maimed happiness

Keep myself to every way
Both refined and uncouth
Then maybe once in a while
I can be with the truth

Don't know if there's that much to be said
For this world, or the time that we spend
I doubt that I'd wanna live
This wasted life over again

Yeah I been to the doctor
Said there ain't much he can do
"You got the human condition
Boy, I feel sorry for you."
There's a sorrowful joy
I known since hours ago
Joyful sorrow, I guess
It's a maimed happiness.

Seen you rocking the Rainbow store
That pretty little doll that I`d seen before
Stayed too long with the borderline
My emotional landscape one street mind
Was lifting my heart to not cause a stir
She knew I was watching her
Looking like the lover that gave all things for
Starting getting glad that I was born

She walked right up to me
Said "What`s it gonna be?"
At the Rainbow Store

She came over and she pulled my hair
Said hey boy What cha doing here?
Just shopping for my sister, it`s a birthday suit
She knew it wasn`t true but whe was cool.

Pushed my neck up against the elevevator door
Kissed me like I`ve never been kissed before
Made a face so sweet in me,
I went down like a submarine

She walked right up to me
Said What`s it gonna be?
At the Rainbow Store

Went all the way down to New York this (?)
It felt like almost happiness
Never thought I`d find myself here
Without guilt and without fear

I never knew it could be all right
I never knew bliss that could be all night
You never know ___ spare all the language says
Was a lifteing complete was an illusion to me

She walked right up to me
Said What`s it gonna be?
At the Rainbow Store

She walked right up to me
There went my ennui
At the Rainbow Store
