Happiness

Dance Gavin Dance Happiness Lyrics
1.Tree Village

What excuses do you make?
Happiness is hard to find.
I didn't catch a break.
Maybe I am dying inside?

February, been so lonely.
It's been so long since I felt your touch,
and I couldn't care less if I deserve this.
I will never survive the sting inflicted.

Sever all ties. Follow procedure.
Pledge abstinence. Fuck at your leisure.
Breathe in then out, but not out then in.
Cause over function. Restart again.

I need to see my dreams as I close my eyes.
Remembering nothing and begging for light.

All the trees, all the birds, and this thing called life.
I'd stake it all for forty acres and a trophy wife.
Dust gathers on the books that contain our past,
and we're but peons in a circuit built by time to last.

Repeat, repeat, as we've done before.
Our history all lost in war.
When the last of our cities are but powder and dust,
the damned who remain live with God in the glory of us.

February, been so lonely.
It's been so long, since I felt you.
I could care less if I deserve this.
I won't survive the sting inflicted

Repeat, repeat, as we've done before.
Our history all lost in war.
Repeat, repeat, as we've done before.
Our history all lost in war.
Repeat, repeat.
Repeat, repeat.
Repeat, repeat.
Repeat, repeat.

staring at the window panes
russian roulette with the names on the phone
when i stare at your face are you even alive?
oh my god you're so fucking intelligent
don't you just love the use of Andy Warhol?
we always knew that we were never the best advocates
and it's ok
from to gray to red
holy fuck i'm impressed
too bad i don't have the pussy to partake
while i sit here and stomach this
here's a nobel prize
let's gamble our demise

staring at the window panes
russian roulette with the names on the phone
hey you, where you from?
never mind just leave me alone

i drained the wells so the town has no water
i cut the phone lines and buried the grain
i drained the blood of the fortunate ones
it's self destruction cause we're all the same

hurry i'm trading the gold for cash
and that's what everyone is saying
don't blame me for post economical backlash
that's what everyone is doing
sometimes i can't believe myself
consequence in the purest form
i see them coming from miles away

i'm down with brown town
i'm down with brown town
i'm down with brown town
i'm down with brown town
(it's only seconds away)
i'm down with brown town
(it's only seconds away)
i'm down with brown town
(only seconds away)

There's no sense in me staying
Then why does it matter?
(It doesn't matter, it never matters)
I hope someday soon maybe
we'll finish this chapter
(I can't ever finish this chapter)

And now at this moment
I don't know what else to think
There's no sense in me saying
'I guess I still miss you'

So now I need names and faces
Examine the suspects
Get the D.A here now

You'll tell everyone
That it's so much fun
Say to all my friends
It never ends
While we're driving through
All the alley ways
We picked up some happiness on the way

I'll tell everyone
That it's so much fun
Say to all your friends
It never ends
While we're driving through
All the alley ways
I picked up some happiness on the way

Just because you move your hips
doesn't mean that you exist
Just because you move your lips
doesn't mean that you exist
Can we just take a fucking break
Cause I feel like I have got nothing left
nothing left

I guess I still miss you
Oh well, it's me and you
What else should we do?
When talking is for functioning people

I guess I still miss you
But talking is for functioning people
I guess I still miss you

You always said
We'd win the lottery someday
So I wouldn't have to go away
I should have known
That I had it all along
But I didn't know till you were gone

Let's see you
Function now
Touch your nose
Jump around

Footprints, in God we trust
Jes-You, Jes-Me Jesus
Pick up ten sac orange crush
Two bottles, cups, and blunts
What do scorned lovers do?
Dancing with all my crew
Drinking and drive life away
Gamble with everyday

Just because you move your hips
doesn't mean that you exist
Just because you move your lips
doesn't mean that you exist
Can we just take a fucking break
Cause I feel like I have got nothing left nothing left

I guess I still miss you
Oh well, it's me and you
What else should we do?
When talking is for functioning people

I guess I still miss you
But talking is for functioning people
I guess I still miss you

You always said
We'd win the lottery someday
So I wouldn't have to go away
I should have known
That I had it all along
But I didn't know till you were gone

You always said
We'd win the lottery someday
So I wouldn't have to go away

You always said
We'd win the lottery someday
So I wouldn't have to go away

drowning in the lake
i only left her for a couple o' seconds
and now she's gone

waking up for what?
as I pace back and forth
maybe its time to move away
but what would that prove anyway?

listening to the answer machine
over and over
only to hear your voice one more time
just one more time

its not your fault
thats what they all keep saying
blaming myself
there's nothing left
why do I bother praying?

its not your fault
thats what they all keep saying
blaming myself
there's nothing left
why do I bother praying?

beg me for direction
like I have all the answers
i neglected her life
so now what
what do I do with mine?

listening to the answer machine
over and over
only to hear your voice one more time
just one more time

its not your fault
thats what they all keep saying
blaming myself
there's nothing left
why do I bother praying?


its not your fault
thats what they all keep saying
blaming myself
there's nothing left
why do I bother praying?

drowning in the lake
i only left her for a couple o' seconds
drowning in the lake
i only left her for a couple o' seconds
drowning drowning


6.Self-Trepanation

one day I'll take your mind, then i'll know everything

9.Strawberry Swisher Pt. II

Could you stay a little longer?
I could really use the extra time
I don't know why I even care
Cause I'm never really there
I'm sure he must be a real nice guy
What a relief, He'll carry you to sleep

Hey!
And I don't know (Hey!)
What we could have done (Hey!)
And maybe this time I will learn to love again (Hey)
I will always be your friend

See this is why
We don't talk anymore
Cause you'll always be waiting
To settle the score
And every second could be the next meltdown
If I wasn't leaving you wouldn't make a sound
You wouldn't make a sound

So this is why
We don't talk anymore
So this is why
We don't talk anymore
Now I don't have to be a real nice guy
What a relief

Hey!
And I don't know (Hey!)
What we could have done (Hey!)
And maybe this time I will learn to love again (Hey!)
I will always be your friend

Could you stay a little longer?
I could really use the extra time
I don't know why I even care
Cause I'm never really there
I'm sure he must be a real nice guy

Could you stay a little longer?
Could you stay a little longer?
Could you stay a little longer?
Could you stay a little longer?


10.Powder to the People

you threw me away
just like all the others
it's been seven days
and not a single word

you threw me away
just like all the others
it's been seven days
and not a single word

make everything happen exactly like i know
just like the ones before, just like the ones before
i hope you know what you are doing to yourself, to yourself
i hope you know what you are doing

after you it's all the same, all the same
after you it's all the same, all the same
after you it's all the same, all the same
after you it's all the same, all the same

i'll take comfort, you'll take security
i'll take comfort, you'll take security

you threw me away just like all the others
it's been seven days and not a single word
who chooses to keep all these bohemian thoughts alive
it's just the same, the same as yesterday
don't wake me up if you have nothing to say
who chooses to keep all these bohemian thoughts alive

make everything happen just exactly like i know
just like the ones before, just like the ones before
i hope you know what you are doing to yourself, to yourself
i hope you know what you are doing

what are you but a yellow, purple zebra?
contacts so i can see clearer
write these words in stone i'm a magnet
i cause tension and retract it
please ask me again cause i didn't hear it
get settled in cause you can't be here yet
all partied out on stranger's favors
how you act like we're friends
but we're only neighbors
excuse me, pardon the eruption
i walk up press all the buttons
i'll talk down, stress all the functions
i always gotta be starting something
so powder to the people
cause the fight for rights is equal
powder to the people
cause the fight for rights is equal

after you it's all the same, all the same
after you it's all the same, all the same
after you it's all the same, all the same
after you it's all the same, all the same
after you it's all the same, all the same
after you it's all the same, all the same

you threw me away just like all the others
it's been seven days and not a single word
who chooses to keep all these bohemian thoughts alive
it's just the same, the same as yesterday
don't wake me up if you have nothing to say
who chooses to keep all these bohemian thoughts alive

content with who we are
driving in our cars
through thin lanes on long roads
so much to behold
greatest country?
where you been to form that opinion
see it, believe it
celebrity leadership
