I'm Happy to Be Here Tonight

Idlewild · Collection [2010]

The world is in my chaos dream

But I am not invited

I said the world is in my chaos dream

But I am

Cause you don't know what people say

Cause you don't know what people say

Cause you don't know what people want to say



You're an abstract, I know why (We talk freely at night)

Abstract, I know why (We talk freely at night)

'Cause you and me talk freely at night

(You and me talk freely at night)

And this is my chaos



Is there a way I can climb inside

'Cause I supply and you're the last one to know

'Cause I don't know

I don't know



The world is in my chaos dream

Though I am not invited

I said the world is in my chaos dream

But I am

'Cause you don't know what people say

'Cause you don't know what people say

'Cause you don't know what people want to say



You're an abstract, I know why (We talk freely at night)

Abstract, I know why (We talk freely at night)

'Cause you and me talk freely at night

(You and me talk freely at night)

And this is my chaos



'Cause you've got a right to stay inside

And I supply

That you are the last one to know

'Cause I don't know

I don't know



You're an abstract, I know why (We talk freely at night)

Abstract, I know why (We talk freely at night)

'Cause you and me talk freely at night

(You and me talk freely at night)

And this is my chaos



(You and me talk freely at night)

This is my chaos

(You and me talk freely at night)

This is my chaos

You and me talk freely at night

You and me talk freely at night
