When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down &quot;happy&quot;. They told me I didn&rsquo;t understand the assignment.<br /> I told them they didn&rsquo;t understand life.&quot; John Lennon

As I fall out of my body
and into yours,

I cling on in some desperate attempt

not to float away.

But babe I’m so high.

High off your drunken eyes.

And I can’t think of a better way, a better reason, to float away.
