For life is sweet, tender and complete
When you find the bluebird of happiness
You will find perfect peace of mind
Knowing there’s a bluebird of happiness
One fine day as I was a-walkin’ down the street
Spied a beggar man with rags upon his feet
Took a penny from my pocket
In his tin cup I did drop it
I heard him say as I made my retreat
“May the bird of paradise fly up your nose!”
“May an elephant caress you with his toes!”
“May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose!”
“May the bird of paradise fly up your nose!”
Now that you’ve found your paradise
This is your kingdom to command
You can go outside and polish your car
Or sit by the fire in your Shangri-la
To stand within the Pleasure Dome
Decreed by Kublai Khan
To taste anew the fruits of life
The last immortal man
To find the sacred river Alph
To walk the caves of ice
Oh, I will dine on honeydew
And drink the milk of Paradise
Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
We lie about each other’s drinks
We live without each other
Thinking what anyone would do
Without me and you
It’s like I told you
Only the lonely can play
We’ll dress him up warmly and
We’ll send him to school
It’ll teach him how to fight
To be nobody’s fool
Oh, oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
Smile, though your heart is aching,
Smile, even though it’s breaking…
(Hey, I found out Charlie Chaplin wrote this song, interesting)
(Just the music.)
Whatever happens, I’ll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I’m learning, I must be warmer now
I’ll soon be turning round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I’m aching to be free
The show must go on
On and on
She just keeps on trying
And she smiles
When she feels like crying
On and on, on and on, on and on
I cried a tear, you wiped it dry,
I was confused, you cleared my mind…
Been dazed and confused for so long it’s not true
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you
Lots of people talk and few of them know
Soul of a woman was created below, yeah
When a man loves a woman
Can’t keep his mind on nothin’ else
He’d trade the world
For a good thing he’s found
I don’t know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in my mind
But dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end
Loving her was easier than anything I’ll ever do again
The radio is blasting,
Someone’s knockin’ on the door
I’m looking at my girlfriend
She’s passed out on the floor
I knew I couldn’t take much more
I started making for the door
And as I passed my date, I let her kiss me
I grabbed my coat and stepped outside
I stuck my thumb out for a ride
Departing knowing they would never miss me
I can’t wait to see your face,
But you don’t seem to miss me…
How can I miss you when you won’t go away?
Keep telling you day after day
But you won’t listen, you always stay and stay
How can I miss you when you won’t go away?
