lyrics

Animals are not happy in the zoo
They laze around all day, they don't know what to do
Even though you fill their cage with rocks and trees and antelopes and all
Still you can tell this ain't the savannah they've been looking for, the skyline they've been looking for,
the icecream they've been looking for

People are not happy in the bank
Tellers look around for another customer to thank
Maybe they were happy the day before
Well you can tell this ain't the horizon they've been looking for
The sunset they've been looking for
the car crash they've been looking forward to
Don't you have a lot to look forward to?
Don't you, don't you deserve a little more too?
When are you going to start believing that?
When are you going to stop believing that?
When are you going to start believing that?

Nobody is happy in the sky
looking down pretending man was never meant to fly
Stewardess enters through the cabin door
She tells them well this is the arrival they've been looking for,
the surface they've been looking for,
destination they've been looking forward to
Don't you have a lot to look forward to?
Don't you, don't you deserve a little more too?
When are you going to start believing that?
When are you going to start believing that?

I remember you told me once, I was holding back aways
And then you held my hand
it was like a criminal sunset
But when you held me down x2
I knew I had a lot to thank god for
Don't you have a lot to thank god for?
Don't you, don't you deserve a little more?
When are you going to start believing that?
When are you going to start believing that?
