Happy Returns / Ascendant Here on...

Hey brother

Happy returns

It's been a while now

I bet you thought that I was dead

But I'm still here

Nothing's changed

Nothing's changed

Hey brother

I'd love to tell you I've been busy

But that would be a lie

'Cause the truth is

The years just pass like trains

I wave but they don't slow down

They don't slow down

Doo-doo-doo-doo-uh

Doo-doo-doo-doo-uh-lara-la

Doo-doo-doo-doo-uh-lara-la

Hey brother

I see the freaks and dispossessed on day release

Avoiding the police

I feel I'm falling once again

But now there's no one left to catch me

Hey brother

I feel I'm living in parentheses

And I got trouble with the bills

Do the kids remember me?

Well I got gifts for them

And for you more sorrow

But I'm feeling kind of drowsy now

So I'll finish this tomorrow

Doo-doo-doo-doo-uh

Lara-la

Doo-doo-doo-doo-uh-lara-la

Doo-doo-doo-doo-uh
