Mr.Happy Go Lucky

John Mellencamp Mr.Happy Go Lucky Lyrics
1.Circling Around The Moon

There may come a day when you grow weary
Troubled waters stain the paper cup
From other venues other voices carry
Slipped dreams soaking into thirsty dust

Maybe then and there youl find another
Lover with a blank and empty heart
Filled with breath and old cells to discover
Strenght to push the seas apart

Chorus:
On the day we met
I began to want you
On the day we met
I began to lose you too
Both of us circling around the moon
Both of us circling around the moon

There may come a day when you feel anger
China cracked and glued by clumsy hand
Veins of memory touching only hunger
The heart devours what it cannot understand

Chorus:
On the day we met
I began to want you
On the day we met
I began to lose you too
Both of us circling around the moon
Both of us circling around the moon

Maybe it whas then i saw my future
Saw it as a shadow on the ground
Beneath the earth old nails to discover
Strenght to hold my body down

Chorus:
On the day we met
I began to want you
On the day we met
I began to lose you too
Both of us circling around the moon
Both of us circling around the moon

On the day we met
I began to want you, want you
On the day we met
I began to lose you too
Both of us circling around the moon
Both of us circling around the moon
Both of us circling around the moon


2.Emotional Love

I woke up today
Everything is on my shoulders
I never told her
Such emotional love
I hear what you say
Yes i owe ya
But i don know ya
And i smash soldiers with love
Il come there today
To your station
It recreation
This passing notion of love
I hear what you say
It demonstration
Crossing oceans above
Crossing oceans above

Hand on my shoulder
Like i told her
I control ya
Crossing oceans above
Sally in the roses
What she knows is
Such emotional love
Such emotional love
Such emotional love
Such emotional love
Such emotional love
Such emotional love

Not for beginners
Or sunday sinners
Court disasters
A. j. just killed his love
Who on the left and right
Lonely days and nights
Who your master
When gods pass motions above
I hear what you play
On your station
Smashing soldiers with love
Crossing oceans above
Such emotional love
Such emotional love
Such emotional love
Such emotional love

I woke up today
Everything is on my shoulders
I never told her
Such emotional love
I hear what you say
Yes i owe ya
But i don know ya
And i smash soldiers with love
Il come there today
To your station
It recreation
This passing notion of love
Is crossing oceans above
Such emotional love
Such emotional love

3.Jackamo Road

I like to buy you a cabin cruiser
And we could sail around with our time
I like to get you a southern mansion
And we could burn it down,
Down to the ground

But i movin?on down
To jackamo road
Down my way through georgia
And all the points unknown
Yeah, i goin?to heaven
Il come back to get you
Someday someday someday


4.Jerry

Jerry jelling at the man in the moon
He right outside of my window
He acts like a madman from time to time
I hope he brings it to a crescendo soon
Jerry yelling at the man in the moon
Jerry yelling at the man in the moon

Jerry rides his skateboard down the street
He thirty-seven yeras old with six children
He sees the world through a ten year old boy eyes
He doesn even notice that it raining outside
Jerry yelling at the man in the moon
Jerry yelling at the man in the moon

But sometimes he cries
He wants me to console him
But i know he lying about
Everything he told me

Jerry yelling at the man in the moon
Says he prayed to suffer the consequences
What is his penalty for his immaturity
Will he be cast into eternal darkness
Jerry yelling at the man in the moon
Jerry yelling at the man in the moon
Jerry yelling at the man in the moon
Jerry yelling at the man in the moon
Jerry yelling at the man in the moon

8.Life Is Hard

Life is hard anyway you cut it
Life is sweet like a berry from a tre
Life is temptation, baby, every single day
Life is hard

Life is funny, i don mean ha-ha
It not always sunny when it needs to be
Life is frightening, nothing lasts forever
Life is hard

My time
Is next to nothing
My time
Falls on you, yeah
Everything
Is in motion
Life is hard

Life is precious, no matter how you see it
Life is crazy like yellow fishes in the street
Life is lonely, when youe not with me
Life is hard

Gentleman,
Is that your story?
Hanging religion from a tree, yeah
My time is next to nothing
Life is hard

My time
Is next to nothing
My time
Falls on you, yeah
Everything
Is in motion
Life is hard

My time
Falls on you, yeah
Life is hard
Life is hard


9.Mr. Bellows

The president he a pretty nice guy
I like to take him out to dinner sometime
Drive around in his motorcade
Talk about those bills that ain been paid
And maybe later, on just for fun,
Wel shoot off his submachine gun
Wel shoot out the sky, shoot out the sea
Shoot out those dreams about you and me

Chorus:
Take my hand girl, i know where youe been
Up the flag ppole and back down again
Walk on water or sink or swim
When youe with me her majesty, the queen, is a pretty nice babe
And i like to take her down to st. petersburg someday
Hang around with her friends and old joe kennedy
After dinner i might give her a squeeze
Then wel just see how blue her blood really is
And in the morning she can introduce me to her kids

Chorus:
Take my hand girl, i know where youe been
Up the flag ppole and back down again
Walk on water or sink or swim
When youe with me well our lord jesus he wants me to pray
So i do every single day
I don know if i coming in very clear
But supposedly he can hear me from here
And sometimes he gives me a little relief
When i down here on my knees
But there no redemption on judgement day
For people like you and me

Chorus:
Take my hand girl, i know where youe been
Up the flag pole and back down again
Walk on water or sink or swim
When youe with me

Instrumental


11.The Full Catasrophe

Ie ridden down the sunset
Drank expensive wine
Ie been married two dozen times
Raised ten children on a workmans pay
And i glad to say ie enjoyed every day
Of the full catastrophe of life

Ie sat in courtrooms
Had people call me names
Ie been to london town
On a supersonic plane
I was lovin?your wife
While you were lovin?mine
And i glad to say ie enjoyed every day
Of the full catastrophe of life

Ie opened my belt to trouble everyday
Ain looking for a fight
But you know i won run away
From the full catastrophe of life

Ie seen the goodness
Ie known the baddest around
I was tattooed when it first came out
I shook the hand that showed moses the way
And i glad to say ie enjoyed every day
Of the full catastrophe of life


12.This May Not Be The End Of The World

Please be quiet, everyone asleep
Stella loocked her door and she requested some peace
She teaches the english at the american school
She teaches imaginary numbers and the golden rule
She says it hard to worry about the future
When your past is knocking at your door
Sweet mistakes and information
Have been her lovers before

Chorus:
Hello all you losers
Youe got nothing to fear
This may not be the end of the world
But you can see it from here

She runs the motors and the music
On the carousel ride
She catches the children on the horses
As they fall through the rye
It hard to see the future
When your back is bending over your shoes
It hard holding on to nothing
When youe got nothing to lose

Chorus:
Hello all you losers
Youe got nothing to fear
This may not be the end of the world
But you can see it from here

I guess you heard about ol?pee wee we had to tear his playhouse
down
Then they put him in the electric chair
Wel have some fun now

When you see her, give her some compliments
On her looks
Shel be wearin?a mardi gras dress
Coming after you with words and books
Wee given you the best seats in the house
So don be late
St. peter is at the door
And he ain no man to wait

Chorus:
Hello all you losers
Youe got nothing to fear
This may not be the end of the world
But you can see it from here

Hello all you losers
Youe got nothing to fear
This may not be the end of the world
But you can see it from here
