The Bacon Brothers - Babies Are Born Happy lyrics

rate me

Starin' out the window

from an unmade bed

I got no reason to live

No reason to be dead

Those unnamed blues are with me today

I got no reason to leave

No reason to stay

Sun in the night, dark in the day

In a January thaw, frosted in May

Searching for salvation

in a stranger's eyes

The sooner I sink,

the sooner I'll rise

So honey, don't you try to analyze it

Just tell me why's it that

Babies are born happy

though sometimes they've got to cry

Babies got that sweet contentment

So why is it that you and I

Get no relief?

Got no belief?

Steal like a thief through our days

feeling lost and alone

when baby we were born happy

Where'd we lose that

sweet contentment?

Flyin' to an island

on a silver plane

But we just

can't escape

the growin' pains

'Cause the ghost

and the smoke

of a nightmare past

will be chasing us

down twice as fast

So honey don't it

hurt to realize it?

we can't disguise it

chorus
