When Will Happiness Find Me Again?

Frank Black


The country was nothing but trees 
So I went to the city one day 
Down at the night club 
I met my true love 
I just happened to pass by her way 

The fountains they sounded like rain 
And the pigeons around us were cooing 
I believe in the fates 
I thought they were great 
Till that girl left my poor heart in ruins 
When will happiness find me again? 

She picked up the phone 
The bombs were deployed 
The people they groaned 
The world was destroyed 

Should I stay here and stumble around 
Or head for the woods far away? 
I can't make up my mind 
I'm drunk all the time 
When will happiness find me again? 

Now I'm drunk all the time 
The sun never shines 
Clouds hang low on the ruins 
When will happiness find me again?
