Mercury Rev - Good Times Ahead lyrics

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 bu*ter 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 bu*ter 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 bu*ter 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
