When the Sky Comes Falling Down - The Pursuit of Happiness

Yeah, mama and papa told me I was crazy to stay I was gay in New York A fag in L. A So I saved my money And I took a plane Wherever I go they treat me the same When the whip comes down When the whip comes down When the whip comes down When the whip comes down I'm going down fifty-third street And they're spitting in my face I'm learning the ropes Yeah I'm learning a trade The east river truckers Are churning with trash I make so much money That I'm spending so fast When the whip comes down When the whip comes down When the whip comes down When the whip comes down When the shit hits the fan I'll be sitting on the can When the whip comes down Yeah, some called me garbage When I was sleeping on the street I never roll And I never cheat I'm filling a need I'm plugging a hole My mama's so glad I ain't on the dole When the whip comes down When the whip comes down When the whip comes down When the whip comes down (Yeah, go ahead check it out) Yeah, baby, when the whip comes down When the whip comes down (I'll be running this town, I'll tell you) When the shit hits the fan I'll be sittin on the can

In search of a cure I found Devils Edge Where hope wilts on peaceless ground Painful certainty on my way to light The vicious truth I have found I'm a dying boy As my universe contains just 10.000 days Soon I have to go Counting a million scars Before I'm leaving Wake me On Sunday When the world is falling down Wake me Sunday When the world is burning Heading for the verge Wings inside the storm Screaming prayers to the wind Once afraid to die Till I found the truth Now I'm afraid of this life So they look like this, unexpectedly Somehow so human-like But their gracious eyes cannot hide the truth About their ungodly minds Wake me On Sunday When the world is falling down Wake me Sunday When the world is falling It's in me It's in me So much more than you're able to see Once the house of the rain Formed obsidian souls and those scars remain The beginning of the end Just a turning point to restart again Let me dream - with you, Ivy Till your sleeping pulse wakes me up on Sunday Wake me On Sunday When the world is falling down Wake me Sunday When the world is falling Wake me On Sunday When the world is falling down Wake me Sunday When the world is burning

Total confusion- one final sin Someone's religion and greed Accidents happen, someone to blame Who's got the answers we need? I don't know who to believe But I know who's gonna set me free Cause I'll be waiting When heaven comes down Ashes to ashes, sorrow and shame Look at the future again Angels in heaven walking the streets Searching for someone to blame I don't know who to believe But I know who's gonna set me free Cause I'll be waiting When heaven comes down Until tomorrow When heaven comes down Cause I'll be waiting When heaven comes down Until tomorrow When heaven comes down

Took a heartbreak off the coast of Maine Came up short and I tried again The New York stole the heart right off my sleeve Fell asleep with a broken wheel, and something kept me rolling still Both eyes closed waiting for the American dream Yeah, I'm running just as fast as my heart can Some call me a fool and some just call it restlessness But I keep on running changing tires and changing plans I call it my pursuit of happiness Found a song in Carolina left a tip at every dinner Always running late on Eastern time Put a hundred in the offering plate And wondered if those pearly gates would open if I found the perfect rhyme Yeah, I'm running just as fast as my heart can Some call me a fool and some just call it restlessness But I keep on running changing tires and changing plans I call it my pursuit of happiness It's a stranger, it's a dollar, it's my name on a big marquee It's a million miles away, and it's right in front of me Yeah, I keep on running just as fast as my heart can Some call me a fool and some just call it restlessness But I keep on running (I keep on running) changing tires and changing plans I call it my pursuit of happiness Yeah, it's all just my pursuit of happiness
