HAPPENING THING

(Dave Howard)

Now if you gotta test the water
Hell dive right in
Just think of the adventure
Invite all of your friends, we'll have a dangerous party

Well up on the rooftop the view from the chimney
Resembles a city in spite of us all
A cynical man behind a large pair of Cool Rays
Exposes a smirk and then proposes a toast

This is a Happening Thing
I've had enough of a Happening Thing
What a casual fling
This is a Happening Thing
Can't keep awake if you know what I mean
What a waste of a dream

So don't you talk about the weather
If you're grafted to your leathers
It's gonna rain a little later
40 days, 40 nights, all sold out

The parallel's a cliche a line from a movie
'Bout the deluge, the savior who washes our trespasses
As the flood carries the dregs of the people
Entitled and simple and everyone thinks

This is a Happening Thing
Can't keep awake if you know what I mean
What a waste of a dream
This is a Happening Thing
It's the biz - it's a Coke - it's a kiss
And that's the way that it is.

It's a Happening Thing
Can only happen if you're ready to swing
To a perfect extinction
The Happening Thing
I've had enough of a Happening Thing
What a casual fling
This is a Happening Thing
Can't keep awake if you know what I mean
What a waste of a dream
This is a Happening Thing
Take the piss - it's a Coke - it's a kiss
And that's the way that it is
