Happy has performed this song live a few times, but the recorded version has only appeared on a German CD release of Many Worlds Are Born Tonight.
I don't understand
Any of the reasons
But I'm gonna be here
Picking up the pieces
There will never be
Any reciprocity
And I don't care
See, this is how it should be
This, knowing I'm the
Only one it pleases
But I'm gonna be here
Picking up the pieces
If there has to be a fall
I will take the shock
And I don't care
See, this is how it should be
Maybe I'll never know
When the black patch came
All I really know is
You're not quite the same
As me
There's a cloud undone
Waiting over your horizon
I'm not a god you know
All I can do is watch the show
I don't understand any of the reasons
but I'm gonna be here picking up the pieces
There will never be any reciprocity
And I don't care
See, this is how it should be
This knowing I'm the only one it pleases
But I'm gonna be here picking up the pieces
If there has to be a fall
I will take the shock
And I don't care
See, this is how it should be
If only I could only go back now
To the point of origin
Oh the hell of being linear
There's a big black cloud undone
Waiting over your horizon
I'm not a god you know...
All I can do is watch the show
I don't understand any of the reasons
But I'm gonna be here picking up the pieces
There will never be any reciprocity
And I don't care
See, this is how it should be
This knowing I'm the only one it pleases
But I'm gonna be here picking up the pieces.
If there has to be a fall
I will take the shock
And I don't care
(....more chorus)
Say, this is how it should be
Never understand
I will be there picking up the pieces
I'm the only one
Picking up the pieces
I don't understand any of the reasons
But I'm gonna be here picking up the pieces
There will never be any reciprocity
And I don't care
