Good Times Ahead - Mercury Rev

The first hint of morning, someone’s snoring

The cat upstairs is yawning and calling her name

She’s in a playful way and a venomous mood

When she bites my ear, it’s just for fun

And I believe her when she says, «I'm glad we never wed»

Better off with the butter than the bread

Then quick, before she breathes, so gently I’m seized

My ear to her belly, whoa, nelly

It’s just like she said

Better off with the butter than the bread

Now take it as a warning, the first hint of morning

There’s good times ahead

Open the dawning, cars are crawling

Their rides outside are snoring, and it’s pouring with rain

And in the strangest way the night behaves

In patterns and shapes that suggest that I escaped

And I believe her when she says, «I'm glad you never left»

Better off with a lover than a friend

Than quick before she speaks

So quickly I ease my lips to her cheek and thank Jesus

It’s just like she said

Better off with the butter than the bread

Now take it as a warning, the first hint of morning

Oh, there’s good times ahead

(Just like she said)

Oh, there’s good times ahead

(Just like she said)

There’s good times ahead

(Just like she said, good times ahead)

There’s good times ahead

Yeah, there’s good times ahead
