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.
