Better Day

Sonny signed his name up for tomorrow

And laughed with all his friends

At all the little men who borrow tunes

They heard just yesterday

Davey got us down but we got away

And drank to all the days

That we had whiled away

Just playing Robin Hood a little out of phase

And then the nightmares come

And you get blown away

And up in your room your walls are cold

You find your head is holding out

For the welcome of a better day

And then the nightmares come

And you get blown away

And up in your room the walls are getting colder

Like you're getting on a roller coaster

You can't find the breaks

Stevie burned the sky when he flew away

And left us things to say

When all the world was falling down

Around our shoulders, cold and grey

Harry carried on in his usual way

And Minnie went inside

He came out once and we both cried

And Minnie blew my head away

And then the nightmares come

And you get blown away

And up in your room your walls are cold

You find your head is holding out

For the welcome of a better day

And then the nightmares come

And you get blown away

And up in your room the walls are getting colder

Like you're getting on a roller coaster

You can't find the breaks

When you're giving everything away

Everybody lets you pay

You're saving up for a better day

Seeing things in a better way

You know you've got to live

There's nothing you wont give

To hear the phone and not let it ring

Every Monday morning

Shughie found love and he almost cried

We laughed and wondered why

We loved the sky and found the space

And gazed out over Stevie's place

And then the nightmares come

When your friend's go away

And up in your room your walls are cold

You find your head is holding out

For the welcome of a better day

And then the nightmares come

When your friend's go away

And up in your room the walls are getting colder

Like you're getting on a roller coaster

You can't find the breaks
