"Getting Better"


driving downtown in my big red caddilac
sipping on ice wine mixing it with similac
feeling the amazing flow
of centuries in the afterglow

setting my stereo for nothing but big beats
windows open sound of the city streets
blowing through the night like a tiger in a movie
feeling kinda groovy

and it's la la la oh it's getting better now
can almost see how it's a big beautiful day
and nothing's standing in my way
oh it's getting better now
I can almost forget how all the bees sing her name
and nothing's ever gonna be the same

holding in the world the world is full of love
all I feel is everything that's coming from above
feeling the amazing flow
of centuries in the afterglow

widow weeds and crows and ice chests stacked up to the tv I don't want to forget
the way I feel whenever she's around
I have to say it now I got to make a sound like

la la la oh it's getting better now
can almost see how it's a big beautiful day
and nothing's standing in my way
oh it's getting better now
I can almost forget how all the bees sing her name
and nothing's ever gonna be the same

one hundred forty thousand years ago
when I was a wide eyed buffalo
sky up above breathing by
calamity jane my oh my

nothing matters explosions in the eastern plain
jackhammers wrapped up in the novacaine
my what a girl I can't forget about
all the angels are singing with me now

la la la oh it's getting better now
can almost see how it's a big beautiful day
and nothing's standing in my way
oh it's getting better now
I can almost forget how all the bees sing her name
and nothing's ever gonna be the same
