I Feel Better Than James Brown

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.

When we were in love I pretended you didn't exist

That way I loved you more

You suggested we get married and move into a house

I suggested that we jump overboard

And live underwater in the lost city of Atlantis

Where mermaids sing

And tuxedoed dolphins bring you breakfast

One year later I was transfered to the moon

Worse pay, better hours

I was transfered to the moon

Worse pay, better fellow workers

I built our love out of blood

I went to the dentist and told him "take out my heart"

I feel better than James Brown

I feel better now

I feel better than James Brown

I was attending Mardi Gras with Fidel Castro

Bucksome cross dressers threw fake gold coins at our feet

As we discussed the fate of the revolution

Suddenly, CIA men dressed in bikinis

Tried to stab us with fountain pens

Fidel blew mustard gas from his cigar

And immobalized the lot of them

19 tequilas later we had a deal

Havana goes back to the mob

And Fidel and I open a chain of Kentucky Fried Chicken shops

Ain't life sweet? I feel good

I feel better than James Brown

I feel better now

I feel better than James Brown

I feel better now, how do you feel?

I feel better than James Brown

I feel better now

I feel better than James Brown

I feel better now

I feel better than James Brown

I feel better now, how do you feel?
