Alexisonfire-Happiness By the Kilowatt

Happiness By the Kilowatt
"Watch Out"

So this is continuous happiness
You know, I always
Imagined it something more
With the right drapes, the right paints
The right frames, this could really work
What a great day to spend indoors

Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up

In a hail of sparks
And a tangle of wires
Everything went wrong

So where has all the day gone?
And why are my lungs aching when I breathe?
Is there something wrong with the heat?
Why am I so cold?
And my heart feels sick
And it hurts when I speak
And this is not what I hoped for

Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up

Was this what we hoped for?
It's not what we hoped for!
It's not what, what we, we hoped for!

Was this what we hoped for?
It's not what we hoped for!
It's not!

figured out that this song title, as well as some of the lyrics, come from a Vonnegut short story called 'The Euphio Question."

@ohmybearhands A few of the song ideas come from short stories from that book, No Transitory and It was Fear of Myself also for sure.
