Long Beach Shortbus - Better Than This lyrics

Well every man needs to get a little sleep

We all need sanctuary from the trouble on the street

Working hard and making money

But I rather be dreaming underneath the shady tree

And it's six in the morning

I've been up all night

Can't stop the wheels a turning

And I'm fearing delight

I'm so spun out but I think I know what we could do

I'm exploding with ideas but I can't call you

(Oh Lord)

I hear people in the tree

I'm going on a mission, unlock my ten-speed

(Oh Lord)

I hear the place is hot and swarming with police

There's a man on the corner with his camera on me

Well I'd do anything to get a little rest

I think a nightmare would be better than this

I think a nightmare would be better than this

There's a house that says "haunted" up the street

The last family that moved in evacuated in a week

That voodoo lady always got to me

But I'm searching for a spirit desperate for company

And it's six in the morning

I've been up all night

And I'm tossing and a turning

And I'm fearing delight

I'm so spun out but I think I know what we should do

I'm exploding with ideas and I can't call you

(Oh Lord)

I hear people in the tree

I got to take the world on a mission with me

(Oh Lord)

I had a close brush with forty-eyed destiny

And I hope that you're looking and you see right through me

Well I'd do anything to get a little rest

I think a nightmare would be better than this

I think a nightmare would be better than this

I think a nightmare would be better than this
