lyrics

I’m driving in my car
When some goon comes by
He opens up with his 12-gauge
Right on the passenger side

I’m walking through the park
When some fool attacks,
He threatens me with his switchblade
Wants more than money this time

I wander dazed through town
When the earth quakes
Knocks me to my behind, oh—
Then it feels like I’m falling in love …

(chorus)
Shit happens, it happens to you
(it happens all of the time)
Shit happens, it happens to me
(It happens all of the time)
Shit happens, it happens
to you
to me
to we
to we

I’m waiting patiently
But the call you promised
Never crosses my phone line
I check and the line is just fine

I wait by your door
And some cheap bitch struts out
Dressed in your leather jacket
The one I gave you last year

I wander dazed through town
When the earth quakes
Knocks me to my behind, oh—
Then it feels like I’m falling in love …

(chorus)
(lead)

I walk on home alone
And the air is cold and thin
Like clouds in a moonscape
A taste of destiny’s wine

I walk to my front door
And I pause, remember
One fine night on the staricase
Back to the passionate time

I wander dazed through town
When the earth quakes
Knocks me to my behind, oh—
Then it feels like I’m falling in love …

(chorus)
shit happens

download instructions

    If you have QuickTime Pro, you can select to save the MP3 from the pop up menu.

    You may be able to directly download the MP3 through this link: download now. If the browser reports that it doesn’t know the MIME type, go ahead and download it — you will get the full MP3. If the browser brings up QuickTime, then try the next step.

    As a final method, we have instructed your browser to keep a copy of the MP3 in its cache. That copy will be there only as long as this web page is loaded. Wait until the full song has downloaded to your browser, then go into the browser cache and search for the song (on a Macintosh, the browser cache will be located in the System Folder --> Preferences --> Netscape Users --> your user name --> Cache ƒ). This will only work for Netscape Communicator or Navigator; Microsoft Internet Explorer uses a proprietary anti-social cache that doesn’t allow direct user access) The song will be listed under a strange name (something like cache416991.mp3) — locate it by searching for something with an MP3 file extension. Now, copy (not move) the file from the cache to the desktop (soon after you close this web page, the copy in the cache will be removed) and rename it something meaningful like torch.mp3.
