Happy people

Happy people Living in a sad world Happy people Living in a sad world Everyone comes from somewhere I leave and you arrive I watch you on the staircase Taking two steps at a time I wonder if you need me I think I'm gonna cry The outside world demands me And I have to say goodbye Happy people Living in a sad world Happy people Living in a sad world All the pomp and circumstance Can't drag me away from this A simple suburban love affair Where you fight and then you kiss (Do you call me a fool?) The feeling of epic grandeur At the end of a summer's day The sense of so much missing When the world gets in the way Happy people Living in a sad world Happy people Living in a sad world People, happy people People, happy people No one comes from nowhere I leave and you arrive It's the rhythm of our history It's the beat behind our lives (Do you call me a fool?) A blues would be in B flat Pain defining wisdom But the soul is in the high hat Programmed in the system Happy people Living in a sad world Happy people Living in a sad world (Happy people) Happy people Living in a sad world (Happy people) Happy people Living in a sad world (Happy people) Living in a sad world (Happy people) Living in a sad world
