I won't let anyone have mercy until you bring me down... Pretty little thing came up behind me Twist and twirl, she damn near blind me Then she smiled as she took my crown I chased that pretty little thing all the way up the mountain Just to see what I could see what I could see I saw her standing by a flagpole, guess what she said to me "You're chasing happy days, tell me are you closer now? Look down, heaven's below! Praising yesterday, dreaming of them better times You put ‘em up on a throne and I won't let anyone have mercy until you bring ‘em down" (Until you bring ‘em down) When I'd all but given up, my joy became a song Felt it in the desert air I had it all along! See the fool's thirst it led me up, and now I lead the devil down My silver-lining scepter called the wind to arms, my feet don't touch the ground! Blazing through the atmosphere on my brand new tiger-robot-wizard-shark Truth be told I love the view up here, I should have seen it from the start Chasing happy days, tell me are you closer now? Look down, heaven's below! Praising yesterday, dreaming of them better times You put ‘em up on a throne and I won't let anyone have mercy until you bring ‘em down (No, no, no!) I won't let anyone have mercy until you bring ‘em down Chasing happy days, tell me are you closer now? Look down, heaven's below! Praising yesterday, dreaming of them better times You put ‘em up on a throne and I won't let anyone have mercy until you bring ‘em down (No, no, no!) I won't let anyone have mercy until you bring ‘em down Pretty little thing, platinum sheen I'm coming up strong, ain't fazed by the gleam Dancing around the sun Hard to believe I was swimming in my mind, lost in the sea Quick fix schemes had a hold on me Now I just smile because everything always was just the way that it should have been Oh them happy days are here! Feeling good, feeling fine, 'scuse me while it blows my mind! The future is fine My soul is elated She's coming on home and I'm kissing the face of infinity She's sweet and she's sour She said to me baby she said don't let happy days just pass you by The future is fine My soul is elated She's coming on home and I'm kissing the face of infinity She's here to stay Whispering softly Don't let happy days just pass you by
