Lyric Many Happy Returns

When I accepted this job
I was resigned to my fate
When I got there early
She d arrive late
You can say she s gone forever
Or just sit tight and wait
She said I was unprincipled
That I was not the first

Like the Phoenix coming back
From the ashes, uh-huh
I know what s good,
But I know what trash is
In the head-lights,
In the highlights of her hair...
Hit the head lines
But she s not there:

_ chorus:

Many happy returns
Many happy returns
These are the lessons I could have learned
Return. Many happy returns
And these are the letters I should have burned

Okay, I m sad, not blue
Okay, remember
All that matters to me now
Is the message I sent her

Like the world, spinning round
On its axis, uh-huh
I know democracy
But I know what s fascist
When she s gone, all I got to learn
Is the law of diminishing return
When she s here, one thing I ve found
Things get better second time around

_ chorus

Okay I m sad, not blue
Okay, remember
All that matters to me now
Is the message I sent her

Now she s gone, she s gone away
Now she s gone forget her
Coming back another day
If you d only let her

Now she s gone, she s gone away
But she s gone forget her
Coming back another day
So why resurrect her?
