Are You Happy Now?

Lyrics

You took the toaster when you went
 You never paid your half the rent
 You took the spices from the rack
 But you don t have to put them back
 Cause in your haste on Halloween
 You left your camera on the bed
 Where we played roles in black and white
 You left a role of black and white
 I set the timer and thought of you
 And put the lense up to my head
 I took a photograph for you
 What comes out gray is really red
 Are you happy now?
 I smashed your pumpkin on the floor
 The candle flickered at my feet
 As goblins flew across the room
 The children peered into the room
 A cowboy shivered on the porch
 As Cinderella checked her watch
 A hobo waited in the street
 An angel whispered, trick-or-treat
 But what was I supposed to do
 But to sit there in the dark?
 I was amazed to think that you
 Could take the candy with you too
 Are you happy now?
 I ve sat all night and now it s dawn
 And I cannot believe my eyes
 There s garbage strewn across the lawn
 Where we once stared up at the sky
 And streams of paper fill the tree
 That hovered over you and me
 Shaving cream covers the car
 That we picked up in Baltimore
 Though I know it s hard to tell
 I hope that what s-his-name treats you well
 I still maintain that he s a bum
 But it s your money have some fun
 And are you happy now?
 You always asked why I had not
 Written you a verse or two
 Since that s the one thing I regret
 I dedicate this one to you
 Are you happy now?
 Are you?
