U2 - Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad lyrics

rate me

Two shots of happy, one shot of sad

You think I'm no good, I know I've been bad

And took you to a place, now you can't get back

And two shots of happy, one shot of sad

Walked together down a dead end street

We were mixing the bitter with the sweet

I don't try to figure out what we might of had

Just two shots of happy, one shot of sad

I'm just a singer, some say, a sinner

Rolling the dice, not always a winner

You say, I've been lucky, well, I've made my own

Not part of the crowd but not feeling alone

Under pressure, but not bent out of shape

Surrounded, we always found an escape

You drove me to drink but hey, that ain't so bad

Two shots of happy, one shot of sad

Guess, I've been greedy all of my life

Greedy with my children, my lovers, my wife

Greedy for the good things as well as the bad

Two shots of happy, one shot, one shot of sad

Maybe it's just talk, saloon singing

The chairs are all stacked, the swinging's stopped swinging

You say, I hurt you, you put the finger on yourself

And after you did, you came crying for my help

I'm just a singer, some say, a sinner

Rolling the dice, not always a winner

You say, I've been lucky, well, I've made my own

Not part of the crowd but not feeling alone

Rolling the dice, not always a winner

Greedy for the good things as well as the bad

Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
