Brett Dennen - Surprise, Surprise

Brett Dennen - Surprise, Surprise (Studio Version)

Lyrics

Verse:
Dark clouds gather in the afternoon
Come to gather just to cry
Seagulls struggling against the wind
Falling out of the sky

Grandma's gathering aluminum cans
In a rusty shopping cart
Born-againers get their lives together
While my whole world's falling apart

Chorus:
Open up your eyes
It's happening all around you
If it hasn't found you
Well you know it's just just a matter of time

Surprise, Surprise
What do you think the world owes you
It's not the way it's supposed to go
Well you know it's just a matter of time

Verse:
Songbird sitting in a tree house
With a trumpet to her lips
I'm laying on my back in the tall green grass
Staring up at the eclipse

Whispers lurking in the alley behind
Where the children wear no shoes
Call girls and corner kids hustling
Saying, what do you got to lose
...ooo

Chorus:
Open up your eyes
It's happening all around you
If it hasn't found you
Well you know it's just just a matter of time
It's just just a matter of

Surprise, Surprise
What do you think the world owes you
It's not the way it's supposed to go
Well you know it's just a matter of time

Bridge:
And there's nowhere you can run to
Because the eyes, they are upon you

Verse:
Some of the coming up hard and hungry
Stepping up to take your turn
Some of them throwing their money in the fire
Just to watch it burn

Chorus:
Open up your eyes
It's happening all around you
If it hasn't found you
Well you know it's just just a matter of time

Surprise, Surprise
What do you think the world owes you
It's not the way it's supposed to go
Well you know it's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of
It's just a matter of time (repeats)

@RaquelRobbz I was just about to post the same thing. I heard it at Publix yesterday. LOL!

First time I heard this song was at my job in Borgata Casino in the back of the house. I was pulled in the first time like a virgin dopehead. Soul+Acoustics? What do they call that? "Soulistics"? 'BEANERSURFRAT' was right..."this ginger has soul"!

[jcpennington183]

this song fucking owns.

[jorgeelprimo714]

i heard this song at Mcdonalds...ARIVA BIG MACS!!!

[mrgungho]

Was pissed about this disc for a bit as a fan of Brett from the start ...recently put it back in the cd player and it hasn't come out for 10 days. Sorry I didn't give it more of a chance at first.

[BEANERSURFRAT]

it seems this ginger has a soul. His music is pretty gooood

[TheDylanTaylor1]

Someone needs to post the guitar chords for this! Theyre not on ultimate guitar, and I can get some of it by ear, but if anyone has them, please post them!

[jjswank1]
