Bright Eyes - I Won't Ever Be Happy Again lyrics

rate me

Well morning came and it dressed the sky

in a lovely, yellow gown.

Now they shops they are all opening

in that narrow hallway of downtown.

Filled with people who are shopping for

their lovers and their friends,

so they won't ever be lonely again.

Well a forest fenced

becomes backyards where songs are born from sound.

And an Apple fell

and it taught us all we are chained here to the ground.

So, here we go, but there ain't no escape.

These streets are just dead ends.

So I won't ever be happy again.

Now it seems that you too see a

painful blue when you stare into the sky.

You could never understand

the motions of a hand waving goodbye.

But as the story goes, or it is often told,

a new day will arise and

all the dance halls will be full

of skeletons that are coming back to life.

And on a grassy hill the

Lion will lay down with the Lamb

and I won't ever be lonely again.

But until that time I think I

had better find some disbelief to suspend,

because I don't want to feel like this again.
