Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She's not a girl who misses much
Oh, yeah
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd with the multi-colored mirrors
On his hobnail boots
[Verse 2]
Lyin' with his eyes while his hands are busy
Workin' overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the National Trust
[Verse 3]
I need a fix 'cause I'm goin' down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix 'cause I'm goin' down
[Verse 4]
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
[Verse 5]
Happiness is a warm gun
(Happiness, bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun, mama
(Happiness, bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
When I hold you in my arms
(Oh, yeah)
And I feel my my finger on your trigger
(Oh, yeah)
I know nobody can do me no harm
(Oh, yeah)
[Verse 6]
Because
(Happiness) is a warm gun, mama
(Bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun
(Happiness, bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
[Verse 7]
Happiness is a warm, yes, it is
Gun
(Happiness)
(Bang, bang, shoot, shoot) Well, don't you know that happiness
(Happiness) Is a warm gun (Is a warm gun, yeah)
