Happy Sinner

by Javier Colon

on Come Through For You (2011)

I'm a lucky man
'Cause I don't have to live forever
I'm an also ran
In the race to get to heaven
But I've got a smile on my face
'Cause theres blood in my veins
And life doesn't get any better
For this happy sinner
If love's to be the death of me then I won't cry
And if lying with you is blasphemy I'll pay the price
'Cause my soul's at rest with my head on your chest
That's the closest to heaven that Ill ever get
And I hope you'll give in to your happy sinner tonight
Like my father said
Son, the best of us are failures
So get it through your head
Nobody's gonna come to save us
And though he made some mistakes
And we share the same face
Can't blame him for my misbehavior
I'm just a happy sinner
If love's to be the death of me then I won't cry
And if lying with you is blasphemy I'll pay the price
'Cause my soul's at rest with my head on your chest
That's the closest to heaven that I'll ever get
And I hope you give in to this happy sinner
I'm down on my knees and the sword of Damocles
Is over my head, it's over my head
And God knows I'm taking liberties
Where angels won't tread, where angels won't tread
