Dave Schauss - The Happy Ones Lyrics

She walks in the doorway from out of the cold
Eyes are red, painted lips
She turns to me like I'm made of stone

I want to get out, I want to get out
I want to get out, I want to get out

Laying on the floor in the middle of night
Is this all that I can do
It's out of my hand and into my vein
You know I took all I could take from you
Well this world where we live is an empty place
I've not the heart to call it home
Because everytime I come in a time of need
I'm always left standing alone

I want to get out--out of this world
I want to get out--out of this world
I want to get out--out of this world
I want to get out--out of this world
I say I want to get out--out of this world
I want to get out--out of this world
I want to get out--out of this world
I want to get out

We walk through the streets with our hollow eyes
Sometimes I think we must be blind
What other excuse could there possibly be
For leaving those who need us behind
Well we can give all of our money away
And we can fall to our knees and pray
But if our motives are wrong then our deeds are in vain
And nothing's ever going to change

I want to get out--out of this world
I want to get out--out of this world
I want to get out--out of this world
I want to get out--out of this world
I say I want to get out--out of this world
I want to get out--out of this world
I want to get out--out of this world
Out of this world
Out of this world

I throw up my arms to touch the sky
I know that before I can live I first have to die

I want to get out, I want to get out
I want to get out, I want to get out

Lay down your weapons and end this reign
All we have to do is try
We fight in our homes, we fight in our streets
But we never even question why
Well we traded in our happiness
For anger and a gun
Too scared to run, too proud to cry
Tell me who are the happy ones

I want to get out--out of this world
I want to get out--out of this world
I want to get out--out of this world
I want to get out--out of this world
I say I want to get out--out of this world
I want to get out--out of this world
I want to get out--out of this world
I want to get out
I want to get out
