First time I had a drink I was sitting in your bedroom
Made an appointment to follow up later that week
And the first time I got drunk I was sitting in the back room with my boss
He said you look a little down
Can I offer you some HappyHappy?

And then the shaman was born
He knew how to take away the pain
Just like his father before him
He knew he would die alone someday
Hey hey
Hey hey

And then things started picking up
He was wild and free
Fell asleep next to beer cans
On a futon that was never made for sleeping on
And no one really cared cuz he minded his own
The life of the party hiding alone in his bedroom
On his knees

Praying to a god that he never believed in
That the people that he loved would one day love him
And praying to a god that he used to believe in
That the people that he loved would make it to heaven
Praying to a god that he never believed in
That the people that he loved would one day love him
And praying to a god that he used to believe in
That the people that he loved would make it to heaven without him
And then the shaman was born
He knew how to take away the pain
Just like his father before him
He knew he would die alone one day
Hey hey
Hey hey

And then the shaman was born
He knew how to take away the pain
Just like his father before him
He knew he would die alone someday
Hey hey
Hey hey
