Walking down this avenue
I see faces of the people all the things they do
I catch a glimpse of a smile
It makes me feel happy
Feel happy again
I don't want to be
Part of your machine
Falling up these splintered stairs
Where the faces of my friends catch me unawares
Muster a drowsy smile
And it makes me feel happy
Feel happy again
And all I want to see
Is less melancholy
And I wanna feel at peace
Walking down a busy street
You see faces that you know and that you ought to meet
You manage a smile
'Cause you've got to feel happy
Feel happy again
And I don't want to be
Part of your machine
And I will try to be at peace
Walking down this avenue
I see faces of the people all the things they do
Makes me feel happy
It makes me feel happy
Feel happy again
