My soul checked out listening, as I said listening
To the eyes of this ticking away
They're just sitting around waiting for my life to begin
While it was all just slipping away
Well I'm tired of waiting for the martyr gun
For the train to come rolling right up there
I got a new suit of clothes and a pretty red rose
A woman I can call my friend
These are better days baby
Yeah, these better days are shining through
These are better days baby
Better days with a girl like you
Well I'm tired of this, that's watching the sweet kiss
Like eating caviar and tea
But if you say it's funny and you find yourself pretending
A rich man in a poor man's shirt
Now my ass was dragging from a passing gypsy wagon
Your heart like a diamond shone
I'm tired of laying in your arms
Come and look at your arms
Yeah, these hard luck phones
These are better days baby
These are better days with a girl
These are better days baby
They're better days shining through
Now a life of legend and a pirate's treasure
Don't make much for tragedy
But it's a sad man, my friend is living in his own skin
And can't stand the company
Every fool's got a reason to feel sorry for himself
And turning his heart to stone
That this fool's everywhere
And it's just a mile in hell
And I feel like I'm coming home
These are better days baby
These blood days shining through
These are better days baby
Better days with a girl
These are better days baby
These are better days and true
These are better days baby
The days are shining, these are the days, babe
I'm fed up, these are just, these are the days, babe
The days are shining, these are the days, babe
I'm fed up, these are the days, babe
The days are shining, these are the days, babe
The days are shining, these are the days, babe
