This Happy Home

for my next trick i'm gonna walk on water
i'm gonna paint the town grey
i'm coming over with a dozen roses
and a mouth full of old clichés
a mouth full of old clichés

hurry up say goodbye learn to live with all these lies
buy it now get in line close your eyes and open up wide

god bless this happy home
the brave the beautiful and the strong
god bless us everyone
if anybody needs me I'll be gone

how does it feel inside
the hollow center of your future
choking on the shit you've been fed
now that all the good ideas have been used up
and all the good Beatles are dead
all the good Beatles are dead

hurry up say goodbye
learn to live with all these lies
buy it now get in line
close your eyes and open up wide

god bless this happy home
the brave the beautiful and the strong
god bless us everyone
if anybody needs me I'll be gone

maybe i could stay wasting all my days
in this little false-front town
full of beautiful fakes
stealing every scene
while i sit and dream about running away

years later i'm dead and i'm dreaming
buried in my own back yard
i can't remember the names of any constellations
but I can still see stars
I can still see stars

hurry up say goodbye
learn to live with all these lies
buy it now get in line
close your eyes and open up wide

god bless this happy home
the brave the beautiful and the strong
god bless us everyone
if anybody needs me I'll be gone
