Better World A’ Comin’ – Richard Edwards and The Velvet Ocean

Come by through the side door
I’m going out of my tree
I hate you when I want you
Yeah, it’s all mixed up
It’s the news that’s making me silly
Come by, I’ll be drinking
Blubbering to The Passionate Friends on TCM
I wanna bomb a bank
Fuck the whole dump right up
Will you just carry on dreaming

Like your better world is coming
Like your better world is here
No, it’s the same old forces of greed and fear
They’re just boiling over

Let me out of
Let me out of
I want out of the zoo
Let me out of
I want out of
I want out of the zoo
But the feeling passes

Oh, I loved your voice
Before I breathed in your lungs
Before I scattered your tongues
So only I could hear it
But you talk too loud
And look what a mess you’ve made
If I have to come back there and straighten you out
There’ll be hell to pay
Don’t cop that tone around me
Talk to me sweet

Come up through the window
I tied you up some bed sheets
I wanna swing from your vine
Wanna have a good time
You got me hot enough to nuke
Your coastline, oh

Is this your better world a’ coming?
Is this your better world is here?
Ah, honey, just dance for me once before we both disappear
I would be so grateful

Let me out of
Let me out of
I want out of the zoo
Let me out of
I want out of
I want out of the zoo
Why’s the feeling always passing me by so soon?
And mama, why do I still miss you?

Why do I still miss you
