Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes - Better Days lyrics

(S. Van Zandt)

I had the craziest dream last night

There was thunder and lightning everywhere

Hellhounds reached up and ripped a hole in the sky

Pissed in the water and spit black smoke up in the air

Demons were chasing me all tattooed

In dollar signs, suits and ties

They wanted me to party

I woke up just in time

I heard somebody say

Better days are comin'

We're gonna wake up and break this curse

Better days are on the way

'Cause you know and I know

It can't get no worse

Sometimes the dream seems so real

Comes to me over and over again

Last night I swear I saw America sleeping in the streets

When does this nightmare end?

I got to find my baby

Maybe I'll find salvation in her kiss

Tell me I'm dreaming

It's got to get better than this

I want somebody to say

Better days are comin'

We're gonna wake up and break this curse

Better days are on the way

'Cause you know and I know

It can't get no worse

I believe I see a train coming

I know it's time to take a ride

Shattered dreams and broken promises

We gotta leave 'em all behind

'Cause you know

We're gonna catch that train, baby

We're gonna catch that train

We're gonna catch that train

I know we're gonna catch that train

Whooa yea

Better days are comin'

We're gonna wake up and break this curse

Better days are on the way

'Cause you know and I know

It can't get no worse
