Lyrics
Boys In The Better Land
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.
You're not alive until you start kicking
When the room is spinning and the words ain't sticking
And the radio is all about a runaway model
With a face like sin and a heart like a James Joyce novel
Saying sister, sister, how I missed ya, missed ya
Let's go wrist to wrist and take the skin off of my blister
If you're a rockstar, pornstar, superstar, doesn't matter what you are
Get yourself a good car, get outta here
Well
But the boys in the better land
You're always talking 'bout the boys in the better land
The boys in the better land
But the boys in the better land
You're always talking 'bout the boys in the better land
The boys in the better land
Driver's got names to fill two double barrels
He spits out brits out, only smokes Carrolls
And he's ref reshing the world in mind, body and spirit
Mind body and spirit
You better hear it and fear it
Oh, that's the spirit
Saying sister, sister, how I missed ya, missed ya
Let's go wrist to wrist and take the skin off of my blister
If you're a rockstar, pornstar, superstar, doesn't matter what you are
Get yourself a good car, get outta here
Yeah
But the boys in the better land
You're always talking 'bout the boys in the better land
The boys in the better land
But the boys in the better land
You're always talkin' about the boys in the better land
The boys in the better land
Driver's got names to fill two double barrels
He spits out brits out, only smokes Carrolls
And he's refreshing the world in mind, body and spirit
Mind body and spirit
You better hear it and fear it
Oh, that's the spirit
Saying sister, sister, how I missed ya, missed ya
Let's go wrist to wrist and take the skin off of my blister
If you're a rockstar, pornstar, superstar, doesn't matter what you are
Get yourself a good car, get outta here
