what if happy was a channel we could choose what if music never made it past the blues what if god was just a bloke who drives a bus what if you and me we spoke in terms of us what if love was sold in shops upon the shelves politicians cared much less about themselves what if adam tried and failed to get the girl what if mice are here to take over the world theres a thing called life and its killing me but theres nowhere else i would rather be so ill lose myself in the melody yeah ill lose myself theres thing called life what if living in the past was made illegal if the world was square and everyone was equal what if radio played songs about our lives and television shone a light into our eyes cause i dont know where we went wrong but its alright just keep listening to the songs inside your mind theres a thing called life and its killing me but theres nowhere else i would rather be so ill lose myself in the melody yeah ill lose myself theres thing called life  theres a thing called life what if dreams are our reality and reality s a dream what if were part of something bigger theres a script for every scene what if worry made you happy what if money made you sad tea and coffee got you stoned and all the good guys they were bad what if guns were made illegal what if weapons were just words what if the animals could talk what if we flew up with the birds cause ive been waiting by the window and ive been staring out the door and i still dont know what on earth were here for theres a thing called life and its killing me but theres nowhere else i would rather be so ill lose myself in the melody yeah ill lose myself1
