Happy Daze

I bend to tie the lace, of the right-angled woman Who moves so impossibly slow While the boy holds the hand, of the last standing statue By the derelict church in the snow In a backstreet a poet, and the sisters of mercy Line up for their shots and their songs But nobody listens, to the sound of the river That's stopped, 'cause it was just can't go on Happy daze, all our wishes come true Happy daze, for me and for you We're all in a daze, we get what we want, happy daze By the park near the playground, there's champagne and bouquets For the man who has fooled more than most (And) satellite tv beams wall to wall coverage Of the dream that got lost in the post Happy daze, all our wishes come true Happy daze, for me and for you We're all in a daze, we get what we want, happy daze A baffled professor, can't say why the colours Of the rainbows are fading to grey But everyone knows that sooner or later Someone will just have to pay Happy daze, all our wishes come true Happy daze, for me and for you We're all in a daze, we get what we want, happy daze A baffled professor, can't say why the colours Of the rainbows are fading to grey
