  • Stuck in the shade
    Where there's no sunshine
    I don't wanna play
    With them other kids in the sun

    Since you left me, babe
    It's been a long way down
    Yeah, you left me, babe
    It's been a long way down

    What you don't know won't hurt you, yeah
    Ignorance is bliss
    I'm a happy idiot
    Waving at cars
    I'm gonna bang my head to the wall
    'Til I feel like nothing at all
    I'm a happy idiot
    To keep my mind off you

    Stuck in a daze and I've lost my mind
    I don't wanna stay
    Where the blame's all mine

    Since you left me, babe
    It's been a long way down
    Yeah, you left me, babe
    It's been a long way down

    So, I shut it off
    So, I shut it all off
    So, I shut it off
    So, I shut it all off

    Whoa-oh, ohh-oh
    It's been a long way down
    Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    It's been a long way down

    What you don't know won't hurt you, yeah
    Ignorance is bliss
    I'm a happy idiot
    Waving at cars
    I'm gonna bang my head to the wall
    'Til I feel like nothing at all
    I'm a happy idiot
    To keep my mind off you

    To keep my mind off you
    To keep my mind off you Writer/s: Daniel Ledinsky, David Sitek, Erik Hassle, Jaleel Bunton, Kyp Malone, Tunde Adebimpe
