The Life And Times Of... Lyrics

Black Happy

And we were sitting by the lake
Looking for Paul's sunglasses
And we were sitting by the lake looking for it all
I saw a six foot salmon get landed by a three for man
I saw a twelve food dolphin eating from a baby's hand
And we was smiling, at me
I saw the world around me change before my eyes
Although the sun was shining there was nothin but
Blackened skies
And there was nothing I could do
I'm just walkin down the street singin' that same old song
I've sung a thousand times before, I know the verse
I know the chorus, I even know the part before
It's called we're gonna' even the score
And as I crossed my body my hands began to the bleed
So she wiped it from me in a manner I couldn't perceive
And she was smiling at me
Something's got to give today
We can't go on keepin' on this way
I sat there starting you know I couldn't help but think
That all the arms around me were now forcing me to sing
But I kept smiling, yeah I kept smiling
