Everything is better than before
The sky turned round and blew us into town
The evidence was thicker on the ground
Where the Watsons paled
And the Sherlocks they failed
We soon found
♪
That everything was better than before
The wolves in town were waiting at the door
Somehow they got easier to ignore
And a siren's call
Under southern skies
Can drown out
A truthful sound
When we turn things down
And the answers grow
From the ground
So we knelt and we took them in our hands
♪
Everything is better than before
With increasingly relative in store
Among the winning numbers in the draw
Was the priceless haul
Of a Bogart Bacall
And above all
A truthful sound
And we turned things down
And the answers grow
From the ground
So we knelt and we took them in our hands
♪
Everything is better than before
I don't remember getting here at all
One moment I was lost, then not at all
There must have been
In a place somewhere in between
A truthful sound
When we turned things down
And the answers grow
From the ground
So we knelt and we listened to
A truthful sound
When we turned things down
And the answers grow
From the ground
So we knelt and we took them in our hands
Everything is better than before (oh so you say)
Everything is better than before (I don't see it that way)
Everything is better than before (oh so you say)
