Everyone is up in my face, need to get out of this place, it′s hard to see with you in front of my face, just another perfect day, acting like they wanna talk to me, so fake yet so friendly. My eyes can see even the back of me, won′t you just let me be.
Cause everyone is falling away, feel like they′re stolen from me, wish everything didn′t happen to me, all I want is faith, love and happiness. Everytime one runs away another one′s returning, I wish everyone could just see your face. Faith, love, and happiness.
It seems everyone is up in my space, like it′s the American way, I run in case somebody takes my place, just another change of pace. I know you think you know a lot about me, but so many wanna doubt me. My eyes can even see the back of me, won′t you just let me be.
Cause everyone is falling away, feel like they′re stolen from me, wish everything didn′t happen to me, all I want is faith, love, and happiness. Everytime one runs away another one′s returning, I wish everyone could just see your face. Faith, love, and happiness.
Every which way I turn I′ve got the option of a million choices, every single word I say is judged by a million critics. Every which way you turn you hear the sound of a million voices. Every single move you make is torn by a million cynics. When will we all see the light of day? I don′t know.
Cause everyone is falling away, feel like they′re stolen from me, wish everything didn′t happen to me, all I want is faith, love, and happiness. Everytime one runs away another one′s returning, I wish everyone could just see your face. Faith, love, and happiness.
The world is giving you the run-around And leaves you feeling low and let down but Happiness is Wherever you find it I′m not waiting for a friend beside me Or for the lord above to guide me My happiness is Wherever I find it And I wanna find it with you Have you ever felt so out of place That the smile on your face Was to keep from cryin′ I don′t know how we get so out of touch But I don′t want much Just to find out What happiness is While everybody else is winning You′re stuck waiting for your new beginning So happiness is Wherever you find it You may be full of life′s frustrations But I′m up for negotiations My happiness is Wherever I find it And I wanna find it with you Have you ever felt... If you got your lucky break and broke it I guess you′ve got your options open But happiness is Wherever you find it...yeah And I wanna find it with you Have you ever felt so out of place That the smile on your face Was to keep from cryin′ I don′t know how we get so out of touch But I don′t want much Just to keep on tryin′ People say a prayer every day That they end up with more than their next door neighbor I′m not buying all their ego trips But I′ll get my kicks When I find out What happiness is
So this is continuous happiness You know, I always Imagined it something more With the right drapes, the right paints The right frames, this could really work What a great day to spend indoors
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up Wake, wake up, wake, wake up Wake, wake up, wake, wake up Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
In a hail of sparks And a tangle of wires Everything went wrong
So where has all the day gone? And why are my lungs aching when I breathe? Is there something wrong with the heat? Why am I so cold? And my heart feels sick And it hurts when I speak And this is not what I hoped for
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up Wake, wake up, wake, wake up Wake, wake up, wake, wake up Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Was this what we hoped for?
Was this what we hoped for? Was this what we hoped for?
I gotta turn this car around I never should have left you there Boy, this traffic is making me sick Boy, I can′t wait to have you near

I gotta hurry, hurry, hurry Now quick, quick, quick Just step on the gas ′cause I don′t wanna miss this See what you′re bringing me boy is priceless I gotta be out of my mind not to try this

Mmm mmm mmm mmm [4x]
Through strength, I found love In time I find myself in happiness with you Through strength, I found love In time I find myself in happiness with you
Happiness is just outside my window Would it crash blowing 80-miles an hour? Or is happiness a little more like knocking On your door, and you just let it in?
Happiness feels a lot like sorrow Let it be, you can’t make it come or go But you are gone- not for good but for now Gone for now feels a lot like gone for good
Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard Happiness was never mine to hold Careful child, light the fuse and get away ‘Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks
Happiness damn near destroys you Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor So you tell yourself, that’s enough for now Happiness has a violent roar
Happiness is like the old man told me Look for it, but you’ll never find it all Let it go, live your life and leave it Then one day, wake up and she’ll be home Home, home, home
Slave screams he thinks he knows what he wants Slave screams thinks he has something to say Slave screams he hears but doesn′t want to listen Slave screams he′s being beat into submission Don′t open your eyes you won′t like what you see The devils of truth steal the souls of the free Don′t open your eyes take it from me I have found You can find Happiness is slavery Slave screams he spends his life learning conformity Slave screams he claims he has his own identity Slave screams he′s going to cause the system to fall Slave screams but he′s glad to be chained to that wall Don′t open your eyes you won′t like what you see The blind have been blessed with security Don′t open your eyes take it from me I have found You can find Happiness is slavery I don′t know what i am i don′t know where i′ve been Human junk just words and so much skin Stick my hands thru the cage of this endless routine Just some flesh caught in this big broken machine
She′s not a girl who misses much She′s well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand Like a lizard on a window pane. The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors On his hobnail boots Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy Working overtime A soap impression of his wife which he ate And donated to the Nation Trust.
I need a fix ′cause I′m going down Down to the bits that I left uptown I need a fix cause I′m going down Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun.
Happiness is a warm gun Happiness is a warm gun
When I hold you in my arms And I feel my finger on your trigger I know no one can do me no harm Because happiness is a warm gun -Yes it is.
The sky was blonde like her It was a day to take the child Out back and shoot it. I could have buried all my dead Up in her cemetery head She had dirty word witchcraft I was in the deep end of her skin. Then, it seemed like a one car car wreck But I knew it was a horrid tragedy. Ways to make the tiny satisfaction disappear.
Blow out the candles On all my frankensteins. At least my death wish will come true. You taste like Valentine′s and We cry, You′re like a birthday. I should have picked the photograph It lasted longer than you.
Putting holes in happiness. We′ll paint the future black If it needs any color. My death sentence is a story Who′ll be digging when you finally let me die? The romance of our assassination If you′re Bonnie, I′ll be your Clyde. But the grass is greener here and I can see all of your snakes. You wear your ruins well Please run away with me to hell.
Blow out the candles On all my frankensteins. At least my death wish will come true. You taste like Valentine′s and We cry, You′re like a birthday. I should have picked the photograph It lasted longer than you.
By your heartstrings I am hanging from a dream Gently swinging in the warm autumn breeze
Come look at the scars Smother a heart, opening up Look at the scars Smother a heart, opening up no more
Tiptoeing along a strand of your hair suspended between These thoughts and actions miles above reality
Come look at the scars Smother a heart, opening up Look at the scars Smother a heart, opening up
Come look at the scars Smother a heart, opening up Look at the scars Smother a heart, opening up look at the scars Smother a heart, opening up Look at the scars Smother a heart, opening up (look at the scars) Opening up Opening up Opening up Look at the Scars You open me up open me up Smother a heart opening up opening up Look at the scars You open me up open me up open me up (Look at the scars) (Smother a heart) (Opening up)
I don′t believe what I′m hearin′ You can′t impress me by what you show me Don′t think I am goin′ through changes Or you might see me change for the last time
Having a bad day Better deal with it If you′re playin′ games No time for it If you′re bringin′ pain Gonna run from it Don′t mess up my day
I′m the only one who′s responsible For me havin′ fun And you can′t change that
CHORUS: Happiness is what my life′s about Happiness no I can′t do without Happiness nothing can stop me now Through ups and downs I′m still happy
Life is as good as I make it I can′t sit while you make it for me I like those jewels you gave me But I wanna buy some jewels for myself To lose the ball and chain Gotta reach for it Nothin′ comes for free Gotta reach for it No I′m not gonna have to depend on you
I′m the only one Who′s responsible For me having fun And you can′t take my
Drowning in the lake I only left her for a couple of seconds
And now she′s gone
Waking up for what? As I pace back and forth Maybe it′s time to move away But what would that prove anyway?
Listening to the answering machine Over and over Only to hear your voice one more time Just one more time
[x2] It′s not your fault, that′s what they all keep saying (That′s what they all keep saying) Ruining my sight, there′s nothing left Why do I bother praying? (Why do I bother praying?)
ohhh whoaaa ohhh..
Beg me for directions Like I have all the answers I neglected her life Now what, what do I do with mine?
Listening to the answering machine Over and over Only to hear your voice one more time Just one more time
[x2] It′s not your fault, that′s what they all keep saying (That′s what they all keep saying) Ruining my sight, there′s nothing left Why do I bother praying? (Why do I bother praying?)
Drowning in the lake I only left her for a couple of seconds (Drowning in the lake) (I only left her for a couple of seconds) I only left her for a couple of seconds (Drowning, drowning)
