Eddie Japan - These Happy Days lyrics

I've picked out my headstone I've broken my cell phone on purpose because I am through This life has shown me everything it can show me I reckon there's nothing new It's not that I'm lazy though they’ll all think I'm crazy it's just that I'm feeling tired I'll sit in this arm chair 'til the gray claims my sad hair and get on with the uninspired Hey, these happy days they come and go so slowly, oh so slowly Oh, these happy days I've plunked down my savings on a rest home vacation I’ll stay til my time is through It's no matter I'm 31 there can still be a bit of fun in the midst of the afternoon I'll make love to the nurses as shiny black hearses carry my friends away My dining companions are headed for canyons far beyond the day-to-day Hey, these happy days they come and go so slowly oh so slowly Oh, these happy days Babel my friend you're looking fit you've bettered your time today But that stopwatch around your neck is tick tick ticking away Poor man he's resisting contorting and twisting against the unbearable and awful decay So sit down on this bench, my man and let it all drift away, let it all drift away I can't live when I'm dying so why bother trying we're all headed for the grave And one day I awake to see Babel hanging from a tree he could no longer hold the charade Then Mireille appears as her final day nears we journey to Normandy At life and d**h’s convening I discover some meaning in the tears she cries into the sea into the sea Hey, these happy days they come and go so slowly oh so slowly Oh, these happy days Hey, these happy days they come and go so slowly oh so slowly Oh, these happy days
