Lyrics for Happy Town
The plan was to sweep the world off its feet So you sweep the garage for the neighbors to see The plan was to set the world on its ear And I bet you don't know why you're here Who knew That avenue was bound for happy town Happy town Happy now Happy town Actors, authors, artists and thieves Have afternoon parties where nobody heaves Former strippers and junkies and men of the cloth And we all fell in line and got lost Who knew That avenue was bound for happy town Happy town Hey, happy now Happy town Happy town Happy town Happy town The plan was to set the world on its ear And I'm willing to bet you don't last a year The plan was to set the world on fire But it rains every day on the liar In happy town Happy town Happy town
