Happy Ending

The Phoenix Foundation Happy Ending Lyrics
1.Bright Grey

This is the state of my mind || When you gonna let me out of the
light?
These orange and yellows aren't making me mellow
Up tight || is the state of my mind
And I never hear what the people say
Until over this river of thoughts they deliver || up tight
thoughts
Into the state of my mind

Oh when are you gonna let me unwind?
'Cause I'm born of thunder but stripped of my wonder


The world is bright grey

I must have fallen asleep that day

The world is bright grey,


And that's the state of my mind
Oh when are you gonna let me out of the light?
Fore these orange and yellows aren't making me mellow || no more
And it's a hell of a bore


The world is bright grey


I'm must have fallen asleep that day


The world is bright grey


And that's the sate of my mind


2.Bleaching Sun

Well I'm waking up || to your crazy shit
And I'm leaving now || Yes I'm a jumping ship ||
Because your heart is cold || like a box of beer
And I just can cope|| with you my dear

Under the bleaching sun || out on the washing line
Hanging from our thumbs || until we get us dry
To clean their minds || Such precious minds|| the sweetest minds
I've ever seen

Now you're feeding on || the simple young
And your bloody tongue || doesn't turn me on
A sacrificial lamb || is in your arms
And I see your face || and its wicked charms
And the way you work the room || until everybody here starts
bleeding from the eyes

Under the bleaching sun || Out on the washing line
Hanging from our thumbs || until we get us dry
To clean their minds || and break your spine || apart in my hands

And this could be all || that you ever know || until you let it go
your mind is gone
It's heading for the bleaching sun
I'll never know || I don't mind at all
'Cause I've seen it all fall before
As you head into the bleaching sun.

You're heading for the || bleaching sun


3.Slumber Party

There lies a girl || with eyes of pearl
She was softly creeping underneath
And I don't know why
I made her cry
I guess I still have much to learn

In this world
In this world
When it's the hour || of the beast

If we had waited for the morning || babe we'd be both fine
But is seems the morning never comes
In this world || in this world
When it's the hour of the beast
In this world || in this world
When it's the hour of defeat

All that I want || is to chop you up into little chunks
And put you in my mouth
Stay in my mouth

And all that I count|| is just 1 2 3 || 4 5 6 || 7 8 9 10

Numbers, numbers numbers.


4.Gandalf

I used to run a bank
I'm the sediment at the bottom of || your water tank
And for a change of tact
I'd like to say || I love the way || you scratch my back

And it's black, yeah it's black
The hole you dug us in
And it's black, yeah it's black
And it's black my heart I wear it well

She came on like November || pretending to be summer
And I could not remember to || shelter from the last of winter
Stay hidden from the cold
And all we have || a golden calf || cut in half


5.40 Years

I'm your man || from December
I only wish || I could remember
All the names of the people
And all the names of the streets
And all the birds in my books about birds
And all the words in my dictionary

I'm your man || from December
I only wish || I could remember
All the lights of the cars in the streets
As they blind me to the spot and then knock me off my feet

And I'm feeling this stagnation || but it's just a fabrication
Born out of complications || from my primary vocation

40 Years (repeat)

I'm your man || so come on, (come on'.) and get over here
I'm your man || from December
I only wish || I could remember
All the names of the freaks and the fakes
And all the names of the creeks and the lakes
And all the birds in my books about birds
And all the words I ever heard
I ever heard in my head, oh my

40 Years (repeat)

Of the sound ringing in my ears, in my ears

This music is dead


6.Irrelevant Noise

Well I feel we're tourists here
And I fear || that we'll bear the brunt of || a lot of ignorant
fools
I'll lose || my way through these fields of || my formative years
I said cheers for all of your || lectures on the one true cause
As I vague my way || through the blue abandoned pause

Honey there's a way to your words || and it burns || all the skin
from my bones
And lightning out of my eyes || starts fires || on stars, turn
them all off
My formative years || are just spent here making all this
Irrelevant noise
As it disappears || in the blue abandoned pause

Falling on my head

And this coat in my arms || belongs to the ones I wish to || warm
in my heart
I'll start with you || put it on my dear
And these wasted years I fear || we'll bear no children
And all the fruit of our loins will spread || like dust through
this dust bowl of || my formative years
Are just spent here listening to your || irrelevant lies
As they make their way || through a blue abandoned sky

Falling on my head

Sky

Falling on my head

The sky


7.A Day In The Sun

When all the birdies have flown
Into their arbour lee homes
And all of the worms in the bellies so warm
They'll dream of their day in the sun || in the sun
They'll dream of their day in the sun

When all of the cars are croaked
And all the computers are broke
While the birds tell the bees the funniest joke
And laugh out their time in the sun || in the sun
laugh out their time in the sun

My pet poodle he probably knows
If I feel like shit with the sniff of his nose
And then gives me the paw || and he says hey y'all why don't we
pack it all in and just go for a walk?
And I know he's right but I lose my will
And I''m chained to my desk || and I'm chewing my quill
'Cause I want my home in the Hollywood hills
Yes I want my home in the Hollywood hills

And have my day in the sun, in the sun
And have my day in the sun


8.Pure Joy

This radiation, radiates pure joy at what the soil || has given
forth to us
This roller coaster won't be boasting no more, it hit the floor
And flew apart in a ball of flames

And we're out on the wing || of this wobbly bird
And we fall when we try to turn

I never look away
I never look a way
It's no lie
Im all eyes

I never look away
I never look away

And it's no lie
I'm all eyes

This radio plays on || such sweet maladies now I'm in a haze || if
your wondering where I went away
And this radiator boils over with the spoils of war
I'm bleeding roses out of my nose and out of my heart

We're out on the wing || of this wobbly bird
And we fall when the bird || turns

And I never look away
I never look away
It's no lie
I'm all eyes

And I never look away
I never look away
It's no lie
I'm all eyes

And I'm never gonna stray too far
It will always be this way my heart || for you
Baby Blue

And this radiation, radiates pure joy at what the soil has given
forth to us
From out this dust


9.No One Will Believe Me When I'm Dead

Rising star, karaoke king the way he moves, the way he sing
Is like preaching and his teaching out reaching
But oh my lord he's dead and I'm not and I've got a lot
Rollin' down this dusty road before they come and take my soul

But now they've got in to my head
No one will believe me when I'm dead

And I am not immortal, sing
No one will remember me

I joined the S.L.A. (S.L.A.)
To bring the government down (government down)
And I timed jump (timed my jump)
So you could see me drown

An' I'm a drinkin' on the mutha goat, the demons milk is in my
throat
I'd love to stay but I gotta go
I got the disco soul of the P.L.O

But now they've got into my head
No one will believe me when I'm dead

And I am not immortal, sing
No one will remember me

And I am not immortal sing
No one will remember me

Oh carry me over the river of Jordan
Into Jerusalem's Arabic quarter
And I'll pay my penance
And I'll drinkt he water
And I'll sell my son to the emperor's daughter

'Cause now they've got into my head
No one will believe a word I said
And when I'm at the pearly gates
They'll say turn around boy || you're too late

Now they've got in to my head
No will believe me I'm dead

And I am not immortal, sing
No one will remember me


10.Omerta


11.Burning Wreck

Last night
I took a wrong turn
In the dark

I took a wrong turn

And the motorway || was empty
I got a little bit scared
In the dark

I got a little bit scared
Of my possible death
Stuck in a burning wreck
Of the pain

And by || by the time
I got to Johnsonville
I made up my mind
Parked by my favorite wall
In the light

looked mean old death in the eye
Said I've seen your shadow || it's there all the time
It's there all the time
It's there all the time
Until it's gone


12.Sugar

As the money flows in || the essence flows out
Eroding into the plains
Take off the reigns and chew on

The sugar

Rationalise || what is not rational
Inert and impersonal

Take off the reigns and chew on

(Sugar)
Chew on
(Sugar)

(Sugar)
Chew on
(Sugar)
