Verse

Like a sunrise happening at three AM

 On a walk in the middle of the night

You may not have a clue

It's something you just knew

And something you were always dreaming of

But tip your hat towards the sky

And stand back while your tears get dry

 Happiness is always on the move

You can wonder if it's warm inside

Stay out till your feet get tired

Watch out for that Shayanni’s Surprise

Chorus

Just because we're waiting for the lottery

Doesn't mean that we can live our lives for free

And I've seen illusions

But Shayanni's Surprise

Got me right behind the eyes

(It’s the same deal for verse 2 and there’s the break after the second chorus)

Verse 2

Even in the midst of all of life's unpleasant gifts

Someone out there's got it twice as bad

So thank your lucky stars

And take a look at who you are

And never waste another day again

Pin a note upon your sleeve and read it out before you leave

'Cause everybody loves a valentine

But you know just as well as I

That we are all in pantomime

Waiting for our Shayanni’s Surprise

Chorus

Just because we're waiting for the lottery

Doesn't mean that we can live our lives for free

I've seen illusions

But Shayanni's Surprise

Got me right behind the eyes

Break

The whole break just repeats these four chords:

Hoo hoo

Hoo hoo

Hoo hoo

Hoo hoo hoo

Hoo hoo

Chorus

Just because we're waiting for the lottery

Doesn't mean that we can live our lives for free

I've seen illusions

But Shayanni's Surprise

Got me right behind the eyes
