The Best Of You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The best of you is wonderful
The rest of you so terrible
The best of you is wonderful
The best of you is wonderful
The rest of you so terrible
The best of you is wonderful
I miss having you around
Aggressive and ninety pounds
But after an hour or so
I wait, wanting you to go
To where a thought's left alone
In ventures through icy zones
The best of you is wonderful
The rest of you so terrible
The best of you is wonderful
You've done it for me again
And frankly I'm stirred again
With mouthfuls of sour grapes
I try telling mirrored shapes
Perhaps for a little while
A war's on in Israel
A citizen's feeling ill
A stain on a gorgeous dress
Bless me bless you
Just in time I found you out
Just in time (time's not just)
You showed signs
Of leaving me
Count to nine (Count it! Count it!)
The best of you has always been wonderful
Bore me bore
The rest of you has always been terrible
Well kind of ... well
The best of you is wonderful
The rest of you so terrible
The best of you is wonderful
Of letters I have kept and read
The one that you sent me bled
At edges, at odds with sense
And still I sit on this fence
Perhaps for a little while
Knock out -- I'm on the floor
(The floor, the floor)
Knock out another door
I'll never stay in your way
All you have to do is say
Just in time I found you out
Just in time (time's not just)
You showed signs
Of leaving me
Count to nine (Count it! Count it!)
The best of you has always been wonderful
Bore me bore
The rest of you has always been terrible
Well kind of ... well
The best of you is wonderful
The rest of you so terrible
The best of you is wonderful
The best of you
The rest of you
The best of you
What's left of you
