Good Times Ahead by Mercury Rev Lyrics

[Verse 1]
First hint of morning, someone's snoring
The cat upstairs is yawning and calling her name
She's in a playful way and a venomous mood
When she bites my ear, it's just for food

[Pre-Chorus]
And I believe her when she says, "I'm glad we never wed"
Better off with the butter than the bread
Then quick, before she breathes, so gently I'm seized
My ear to her belly, whoa, Nelly

[Chorus]
It's just like she said
Better off with the butter than the bread
Now take it as a warning
The first hint of morning
There's good times ahead

[Verse 2]
Open the dawning, cars are crawling
Their rides outside are snoring and it's pouring with rain
And in the strangest way, the night behaves
In patterns and shapes that suggest that I escaped
[Pre-Chorus]
And I believe her when she says, "I'm glad you never left"
Better off with a lover than a friend
Then quick before she speaks, so gently, I ease
My lips to her cheek and thank Jesus

[Chorus]
It's just like she said
Better off with the butter than the bread
Now take it as a warning
The first hint of morning
Oh, there's good times ahead

[Outro]
(Just like she said, good times ahead)
Oh, there's good times ahead
(Just like she said, good times ahead)
Yeah, there's good times ahead
