Happens Lyrics by Doc Backer

15,16 (Pop Songs for the General Populace)

2015

Sitting on the corner
Like an old cig stub
Smell like rock n’ roll
But I look like a bum

Lighter burns on my fingers
Glass pipe by my side
Start feel the need
Time to find a fiend

And this is what happens
When we’re all alone
And this is what happens
When the dog lost a bone
And this is what happens
When the black snake moans
And this is what happens
On the way to the throne

Stole my daddy's guitar
Broke my mama’s heart
Old cars and old guitars
All I need to reach the stars
But I drown my muse
With every shot of the juice
Don’t really know what I’m doing
Said this girl that I’m screwing

And this is what happеns
When we’re all alonе
And this is what happens
When the dog lost a bone
And this is what happens
When the black snake moans
And this is what happens
On the way to the throne

High and happy or sober and sad
Too much of either might drive me mad
Sitting in the corner with a bottle and a record
Thinking ‘bout how I should have kept her
Thinking ‘bout how I should have left her
Thinking ‘bout how I should have kept her

Sitting on the corner
Like an old cig stub
Don’t know how I got here
But I know how I’ll leave

And this is what happens
When we’re all alone
And this is what happens
When the dog lost a bone
And this is what happens
When the black snake moans
And this is what happens
On the way to the throne
