Happy Being Lonely, Lonely Being Happy   Run Time: 4:03

Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©2001

me i was just a kid
with some school books in his hands
violence visits soon
but i never saw it coming

so you trace your world in blue
and every voice is loud and long
except the one inside of you

and when don't know exactly
happy being lonely lonely being happy

there's a girl all dressed in white
for her the stars they all fall down
she'll fill your room with light
and she'll never make a sound

found your candle lit the match
then the signal started breaking up
just before the crash

and where don't know exactly
happy being lonely lonely being happy
and when don't know exactly
happy being lonely lonely being happy

Did You Know?

This song is, in part, about the shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado. What's playing on the radio at the end of the song? Along with a snippet of the Vigilantes' "Real Down Town," producer Tom Lewis and Bill spun the dial of a cheap AM radio back and forth between Rush Limbaugh and Dr. Laura. This was Drew Grow's favorite song off of Summershine. Drew was a member of the Summershine band.
