(Check it out!)
I won’t let anyone have mercy until you bring me down
Pretty little thing came up behind me
Twist and twirl, she damn near blind me
Then she smiled as she took my crown
I chased that pretty little thing all the way up the mountain
Just to see what I could see, what I could see
I saw her standing by a flagpole, guess what she said to me
"You're chasing happy days, tell me are you closer now?
(Look down, heaven's below)
Praising yesterday, dreaming of them better times
(You put ‘em up on a throne, and I won't let anyone have mercy until you bring ‘em down")
Until you bring ‘em down
When I'd all but given up, my joy became a song
Felt it in the desert air, I had it all along
See the fool's thirst, it led me up, and now I lead the devil down
My silver-lining scepter called the wind to arms, my feet don't touch the ground
Blazing through the atmosphere on my brand new tiger-robot-wizard-shark
Truth be told I love the view up here, should have seen it from the start
You're Chasing happy days, tell me are you closer now?
(Look down, heaven's below)
Praising yesterday, dreaming of them better times
(You put ‘em up on a throne and I won't let anyone have mercy until you bring ‘em down)
No, no, no!
(I won't let anyone have mercy until you bring ‘em down)
Chasing happy days, tell me are you closer now?
(Look down, heaven's below)
Praising yesterday, dreaming of them better times
(You put ‘em up on a throne and I won't let anyone have mercy until you bring ‘em down)
No, no, no!
(I won't let anyone have mercy until you bring ‘em down)
Pretty little thing, platinum sheen
I'm coming up strong, ain't fazed by the gleam
Dancing around the sun
Hard to believe I was, swimming in my mind, lost in the sea
Quick fix schemes had a hold on me
Now I just smile because, everything always was, just the way that it should have been
Oh them happy days are here
Feeling good, feeling fine, 'scuse me while it blows my mind
The future is fire (Future is fire)
My soul is a lady (My soul is...)
She's coming on home and I'm kissing the face of infinity
She's sweet and she's sour (Sweet and sour)
She said to me baby she said don't let happy days just pass you by
The future is fire (Future is fire)
My soul is a lady (My soul is...)
She's coming on home and I'm kissing the face of infinity
She's here to stay
Whispering softly
Don't let happy days just pass you by
