If you should go to see the thunder in the sky
And learn how to feel the heat inside your lungs
But careful don't forget to ask the way back home
And more and more you might bring a warm coat with you
As happiness moves on,
as happiness moves on,
as happiness moves on
When it's gone
You're trying to figure out what kind of life used to be
Upon the earth where we were naked by the storm
With fire raining from the sky upon this land
My mother used to fight with drakes and dinosaurs
As happiness moves on,
as happiness moves on,
as happiness moves on,
as happiness moves on,
as happiness moves on
When it's gone
The air is full of toxic particles,
you know
Beginning from the towns around your house,
your life
Ground beneath your feet may be fertile,
I'm sure
Your father used to have to dig into your heart
As happiness moves on,
as happiness moves on,
as happiness moves on,
as happiness moves on,
as happiness moves on,
as happiness moves on to the world
As happiness moves on
Where it's gone
