[Chorus] Happy people Living in a sad world Happy people Living in a sad world [Verse] Everyone comes from somewhere I leave and you arrive I watch you on the staircase Taking two steps at a time I wonder if you need me I think I’m gonna cry The outside world demands me And I have to say goodbye [Chorus] Happy people Living in a sad world Happy people Living in a sad world [Verse] All the pomp and circumstance Can’t drag me away from this A simple suburban love affair Where you fight and then you kiss (do you call me a fool) The feeling of epic grandeur At the end of a summers day The sense of so much missing When the world gets in the way [Chorus] Happy people Living in a sad world Happy people Living in a sad world [Bridge] Peeeople Happy peeeople Peeeople Happy peeeeople [Verse] No-one comes from nowhere I leave and you arrive It’s the rhythm of our history It’s the beat behind our lives (do you call me a fool) Our blues would be in B flat Pain defining wisdom But the soul is in the hi-hat Programmed in the system [Chorus] Happy people Living in a sad world Happy people Living in a sad world
