Hat Head

(Words and music: Patrick Gadola)

Though it's just another day with no one out to play
I feel it should be treated in some very special way
My snot rag in my pocket, my favorite hat on my head
An Oingo Boingo song keeps spinning around my head

Now I'm the luckiest man to ever walk the earth
I'm waiting for the day I understand what it's worth
And maybe then I could even get along with spiders and bugs
If we were all nice to each other it would be the perfect drug

And I'm so happy to be alive
You don't believe me, but to you I've never lied
And I'm so happy to be with you
You don't believe me, but I swear it's true

I've said a thousand words no one could understand
And I've let too many chances slip out of my hands
So I hope and pray someday to get another chance
And even in the pouring rain you and I could dance

And I'm so happy to be alive
You don't believe me, but to you I've never lied
And I'm so happy to be with you
You don't believe me, but I swear it's true

If I could forget about what happened in the past
How all the kids made fun of me, how all the kids laughed
It wouldn't matter today if I had ever moved ahead
But I'm still looking for a place to sit and someone to be my friend

And I'm so happy to be alive
You don't believe me, but to you I've never lied
And I'm so happy to be with you
You don't believe me, but I swear it's true
And I'm so happy to be alive
I only want everyone to have a better life
