Dave Howard - Happy Is the New Down Lyrics

Midnight on the boulevard
Homeless people livin' hard
Hustler playin' the card that he's been dealt
Church bells ring at dawn
Progress marches on
Winter will soon be gone and the ice will melt

Blades of grass break through concrete
Bitter tears begin to taste sweet
I feel empty and yet so complete
Happy is the new Down
Happy is the new Down
Happy is the new Down Alright

Gambler with the ace of spades
Suicide with a razor blade
A rich man has got it made and I don't mind

A civil war that never ends
A horse thief makes amends
Search on the net for a long lost friend

Happy is the new Down
Happy is the new Down
Happy is the new Down Alright

I just can't be seen in black
I just can't make it back
I just can't make it back

A civil war that never ends
A horse thief makes amends
Search on the net for a long lost friend

Happy is the new Down
Happy is the new Down
Happy is the new Down
Happy is the new Down
Happy is the new Down
Happy is the new Down
Happy
