Lyrics

PERMANENT HAPPINESS

I used to dream in black and white
About people I'd never met
Strange encounters, accidents,
Things that haven't happened yet.
This is no dress rehearsal
This is no dress rehearsal

I'm gonna scream I'm gonna shout
I'm gonna scream I'm gonna shout until you get me out.
I'm gonna rant, I'm gonna rage
I'm gonna rant, I'm gonna rage till I get out of this cage.

Live for now the past is a mess.
We're in search of permanent happiness.
Live for now the past is a mess.
We're in search of permanent happiness.

I'm gonna scream I'm gonna shout
I'm gonna scream I'm gonna shout until you get me out.
I'm gonna rant, I'm gonna rage
I'm gonna rant, I'm gonna rage till I get out of this cage

This is no dress rehearsal
This is no dress rehearsal


I'm gonna scream I'm gonna shout
I'm gonna scream I'm gonna shout until you get me out.
I'm gonna rant, I'm gonna rage
I'm gonna rant, I'm gonna rage till I get out of this cage
