Lyrics (T : Tim, A: Angelo)
A : Where'd you steal that song
T : Picked the bones of ancient ones
A: Once they're in your house they stay forever
Where'd you learn those moves?
T: From my anger from the blues
They're the only clues to my intention
A: How do you know your smile's
From the dolphin not the crocodile
T: The porpoise of this sickness
Is to get better
A: I see you shine far away in your new life
Looks to me like you got away
T: Maybe I'll be passing back this way
A: Don't tell me life gets better
Don't tell me life gets better
What you have left to sell
Now that you moved out of hell
Who in England will want to hear you're happy
Only pain is deep
The rest is just an American dream
You sold your pain
A bluesman for a crooner
I see you shine far away in your new life
Looks to me like you got away
T: Maybe I'll be passing back your way
A: Just don't tell me life gets better
Don't tell me life gets better
A: Where'd you get that mask
T: Made it at school in the middle class
Something to show for all my parents' money
A: What have you left to say
T: Life's too good
A: Don't talk that way
I tell you life's not fair
T: Ah, but life gets better
A: Life gets bitter
T: Life gets better
A: Life gets better
T: Life gets better
A: Life gets better
A : Where'd you steal that song
T : Picked the bones of ancient ones
A: Once they're in your house they stay forever
Where'd you learn those moves?
T: From my anger from the blues
They're the only clues to my intention
A: How do you know your smile's
From the dolphin not the crocodile
T: The porpoise of this sickness
Is to get better
A: I see you shine far away in your new life
Looks to me like you got away
T: Maybe I'll be passing back this way
A: Don't tell me life gets better
Don't tell me life gets better
What you have left to sell
Now that you moved out of hell
Who in England will want to hear you're happy
Only pain is deep
The rest is just an American dream
You sold your pain
A bluesman for a crooner
I see you shine far away in your new life
Looks to me like you got away
T: Maybe I'll be passing back your way
A: Just don't tell me life gets better
Don't tell me life gets better
A: Where'd you get that mask
T: Made it at school in the middle class
Something to show for all my parents' money
A: What have you left to say
T: Life's too good
A: Don't talk that way
I tell you life's not fair
T: Ah, but life gets better
A: Life gets bitter
T: Life gets better
A: Life gets better
T: Life gets better
A: Life gets better
