The plan was to sweep the world off its feet

so you sweep the garage for the neighbours to see

the plan was to set the world on its ear

and I bet you don't know why you're here



Who knew

that avenue was bound for happy town

happy town

happy now

happy town



Actors, authors, artists and thieves

and after the parties where nobody hates

former strippers and junkies and men of the cloth

and we all fell in line and got lost



Who knew

that avenue was bound for happy town

happy town

happy now



happy town

happy town



happy town

happy town



The plan was to set the world on its ear

and I'm willing to bet you don't last a year

the plan was to set the world on fire

but it rains every day on the line



In happy town

happy town

happy town



repeat
