about

from the new album "Head Case" by alt pop band, The Happy Problem. 2011, Brown Chair Records.

lyrics

You must be the wizard
You're the one they're talking about
I can tell by the smoke you're blowing up
From the tub at your big emerald house

Said you wanted us up high where the limit meets the sky

You just use for your dirty work
Hold the prize in front of our eyes
You just cruise when the curtain jerks
Floating off like the Wizard of Oz

These must be your people
Sing and dance when you come around
Getting high on the offers you make 'til you're gone
And their lead hearts drop to the ground

Maybe you're a man of tin, open up and nothing in

You just use for your dirty work
Hold the prize in front of our eyes
You just cruise when the curtain jerks
Floating off like the Wizard of Oz

In your big balloon
You've been over the moon
You've been over the rainbow
So we never say no

You just use for your dirty work
Hold the prize in front of our eyes
You just cruise when the curtain jerks
Floating off like the Wizard of Oz
Like the Wizard of Oz
Just a Wizard of Oz
