AUDIO ONLY. Happy Rhodes - Building The Colossus - 09 - " If I Ever See The Girl Again" (1994)

The "Girl" is Happy herself.

Lyrics:

If I Ever See the Girl Again (5:33)

There she goes, so pitiful
She's so stupid and man is she dull
If I ever see the girl again
I'm gonna tell her that | she can be my friend
I don't know how she survived
with everybody eating her alive
If I ever see the girl again
I'm gonna tell her that | she can be my friend

Oh memories, aren't they fun?
Fun like a heart attack
Cleaning my room I find
artifacts of hers, what a sorry child
What a golden girl

Well, I moved along
I moved a long way
I'm shocking the gods
I play a good game

Yet still, I'd like to be there
when she was thrown by her hair
I'd tear their faces off and | show them their own violence

There she goes, so pitiful
She's so stupid and man is she dull
If I ever see the girl again
I'm gonna tell her that | she can be my friend
I don't know how she survived
with everybody eating her alive
If I ever see the girl again
I'm gonna take her hand | and I will be her friend

I know just where she lived
I have pictures of her in my head
But that was many years ago
and now she's floating far below
my consciousness

Well, I moved along
I moved a long way
I'm shocking the gods
I play a good game

Yet still, I'd like to be there
when she was thrown by her hair
I'd tear their faces off and | show them their own violence

There she goes, so pitiful
She's so stupid and man is she dull
If I ever see the girl again
I'm gonna tell her that | she can be my friend
I don't know how she survived
with everybody eating her alive
If I ever see the girl again
I'm gonna tell her that | I will be her friend
