Happy Days
Closure in Moscow Lyrics

I won’t let anyone have mercy until you bring me down
I will not give up until you defeat me

Pretty little thing came up behind me
An attractive person approached me from behind

Twist and twirl, she damn near blind me
She danced in front of me in such a way that it was almost blinding

Then she smiled as she took my crown
She accomplished something and was pleased about it

I chased that pretty little thing all the way up the mountain
I pursued the attractive person up the mountain

Just to see what I could see, what I could see
I chased after them just to see what would happen

I saw her standing by a flagpole, guess what she said to me
I saw her standing by a flagpole and she said something to me

"You're chasing happy days, tell me are you closer now?
Are you closer to your goal of happiness?

(Look down, heaven's below)
Look down and you'll see heaven below you

Praising yesterday, dreaming of them better times
Thinking fondly of the past and dreaming of better times

(You put ‘em up on a throne, and I won't let anyone have mercy until you bring ‘em down")
You hold those happy times in high regard, but I won't let anyone defeat me until they're brought down

Until you bring ‘em down
I won't give up until those happy times are defeated

When I'd all but given up, my joy became a song
When I had almost given up, my happiness turned into a song

Felt it in the desert air, I had it all along
I felt happiness in the air of the desert and realized I had it within me all along

See the fool's thirst, it led me up, and now I lead the devil down
My foolish desire for something led me upwards and now I am leading someone evil downwards

My silver-lining scepter called the wind to arms, my feet don't touch the ground
My positive thinking caused the wind to help me, and I feel like I am floating

Blazing through the atmosphere on my brand new tiger-robot-wizard-shark
I am traveling fast through the atmosphere on my new and unique vehicle

Truth be told I love the view up here, should have seen it from the start
Honestly, I love the view from up here and I wish I had seen it from the beginning

No, no, no!
An exclamation of defiance or refusal

Pretty little thing, platinum sheen
A pretty and shiny person

I'm coming up strong, ain't fazed by the gleam
I am becoming strong and am not affected by the shine of superficial things

Dancing around the sun
Metaphorically moving around the center of something grand or important

Hard to believe I was, swimming in my mind, lost in the sea
It's difficult to believe that I was once caught up in my own thoughts and lost in confusion

Quick fix schemes had a hold on me
I was once entangled in short-term solutions

Now I just smile because, everything always was, just the way that it should have been
Now, I smile because everything is the way it should have been all along

Oh them happy days are here
Those happy days are present

Feeling good, feeling fine, 'scuse me while it blows my mind
Feeling good, feeling fine, an exclamation of being amazed or astounded

The future is fire (Future is fire)
The future is exciting and full of potential

My soul is a lady (My soul is...)
My soul is feminine

She's coming on home and I'm kissing the face of infinity
Metaphorically, I am welcoming a part of myself home and embracing the infinite possibilities of the universe

She's sweet and she's sour (Sweet and sour)
My soul is complex; it has both positive and negative qualities

She said to me baby she said don't let happy days just pass you by
My soul, which represents a deeper part of me, advised me not to let happy times slip by without enjoying them
