Better Go Songtext
von Mal Blum

Drunk dial, then I wish that you would
It′s such a pretty house in a pretty yard in a pretty neighborhood
Goddammit, I wish that it were
A metaphor for a feeling or the hard cover of your new memoir

Oh, oh, my God, look at all the stuff you've got
Does it make your loneliness more bearable?
You look a lot like me, but remiss the oft anxiety
Sated, and I wish that I was

Better go, better go, better go without me
′Cause I don't, I don't, I don′t know the thing to say
It′s all demand 'til they need where your body stands
Guess I ain′t using my body anyway
Guess I ain't using my body anyway

Anyway, so tired and I wish that I was
Anyone in another state in another place in another neighborhood
Goddammit, who′s taking you home?
Goddamnit, I wish that I could, no, no, no


Oh, my God, you got everything you wanted
Even a bloodless diamond rock, who would've thought?
You look a lot like you, but maybe I also do, and
If the house is glass, then I am not (why?)

Better go, better go, better go without me
′Cause I don't, I don't, I don′t know the thing to say
It′s all demand 'til they need where your body stands
Guess I ain′t using my body anyway
Guess I ain't using my body anyway

Anyway, one by fire and one by plague
Don′t think that I'll see you again
But I don′t mind it as I once did
I push the door 'cause it opens in
All my tenson taut and inhabited, yes

Oh, my God, another brownstone city block
Pull out the playground, build a lot if they're smart
You say ′cause you′ve got to live, and I cared, and you never did
Hope your computer keeps you warm where I could not
Hope your computer keeps you warm where I could not


Better go, better go, better go without me
'Cause I don′t, I don't, I don′t know the thing to say
It's all demand ′til they need where your body stands
Guess I ain't using my body anyway
Guess I ain't using my body anyway
