Bright Eyes - I Won't Ever Be Happy Again lyrics

Well morning came

And it dressed the sky

In a lovely yellow gown

Now the shops they are

All opening

In that narrow hallway of downtown

Filled with people who

Are shopping for

Their lovers and their friends

Saying they won't ever be lonely again

Well a forest fenced

becomes backyards

Like songs are born from sound

And the apple fell

And it taught us all

We are chained here to the ground

So, I mean, here we go

But there ain't no escape

No, these streets they're just dead ends

So I won't ever be happy again

Well, it seems you too

See a painful blue

When you stare into the sky

You'd never understand

The motion of a hand waving you goodbye

"Bye bye"

But as the story goes

or it is often told

A new day will arise

And all the dance halls will

Be full of skeletons

That are coming back to life

And on a grassy hill

the lion will

lay down with the lamb

And I won't ever be lonely again

No, no, no, no, no

But until that time

I think I had better find

some disbelief to suspend

Cause I don't want to feel like this again
