Lyrics

Stealing Happy Hours

[Verse 1]

Massive laminate fortress

Hazy cannabis porches

Saying no to the bores

It’s not mine nor yours then I said

The wait it sucks, I don’t mind waiting

Once you get here, there’s no more gates and I gotta say

[Chorus]

We’re stealing happy hours

Stealing happy hours, yeah

Stealing happy hours

Stealing happy hours, yeah

[Verse 2]

Don’t wait one minute more to ask me

You make me feel like Hank Chinaski

In war all the time, war, (war), war all the time

We’re snatching bits of time that no one else can seem to find

[Chorus]

Stealing happy hours

Stealing happy hours, yeah

[Chorus]

Stealing happy hours

Stealing happy hours, yeah

Stealing happy hours

Stealing happy hours, yeah
