HAPPY ONLINE

People say that I've got grey hair

I must say that I don’t care

Everyone strugglin’ to go on line

You might be a friend of mine

Tapping keys there across the world

Perhaps a lost and lonely girl

Who turns to the web to find her heart

With someone who’ll be apart

Far away

Everyone wants their own home page

Aiming to be the next web sage

I tried to find you but your site was down

You must have been out of town

Planning dreams to take me away

It’s time to go I just can’t stay

Email my friends to say goodbye

It’s time to go off line

I’m goin’ away

Then it happened - life fell apart

My friend dear life lost its spark

No url’s ; no send, no reply

Just tropical heat and a whole lotta rain

In my eyes

Something had died

Someone has died

Gee it’s good to be back on line

Where real life can’t touch me and I feel fine

Say hi to my friends who have no face

They got no pain and they got no place

They can’t see that I got grey hair

And that’s why I say that I don’t care

They can’t see the tears in my eyes

I could be laughing and I could be wise

And I’m far away

Happy on line

It’s email time

Happy on line

(I don't mind 404. I don't mind server down. I'm happy online.)
