"To get to Happy Town you can call your doctor
You can unscrew the child-proof bottle cap
Pour yourself a glass of water"
This song is obviously talking about antidepressants.
"My boyfriend Bob he said I made him miserable
But we stayed together 'cause the sex was really good
And then he packed his bags with me to Happy Town
We don't fuck anymore, but we can really snuggle down"
This is refering to the sexual side effects.
"I used to sit under a gloomy cloud of gray
And now the sun is shining and it won't go away
I used to go up
I used to go down
Now I'm just even here in Happy Town
I don't get excited
Nor do I frown
The lawn is always neat in Happy Town"
This is talking about how antidepressants can make you artificially pleasant but rob you of your emotional depth. The line about the lawns always being neat in Happy Town makes me think of The Stepford Wives.
This song is one of my favorites.
