I Won't Ever Be Happy Again

Well morning came and it dressed the sky in a lovely yellow gown. Now the shops, they are all opening in that narrow hallway of downtown; filled with people who are shopping for their lovers and their friends so they won't ever be lonely again. Well, a forrest bench becomes backyards, like songs are born from sound. And the apple fell and it taught us all that we are chained here to the ground. So here we go, but there ain't no escape. Yeah, these streets are just dead ends so I will never be happy again. Well it seems you too see a painful blue when you stare at the sky. You could never understand the motion of a hand waving you goodbye. "Bye bye." But as the story goes, or it is often told, a new day will arise and all the dance halls will be full of skeletons. They are coming back to life and on a grassy hill. The lion will lay down with the lamb and I won't ever be lonely again. But until that time I think had better find some disbelief to suspend, because I don't want to feel like this again.
