Better Day

Sonny signed his name up for tomorrow Laughed with all his friends And all the little men who borrow tunes They heard just yesterday Davey got us down but we got away And drank to all the days We had whiled away Just playing Robin Hood a little out of phase Then the nightmares come and you get blown away And up in your room your walls are cold You find your head is holding out For the welcome of a better day Then the nightmares come and you get blown away And up in your room your walls are getting colder Like you're getting on a roller coaster You can't find the breaks Stevie burned the sky when he flew away And left us things to say When all the world is falling down Around our shoulders, cold and gray Harry carried on in his usual way And Minnie went inside He came out once and we both cried And Minnie blew my head away And then the nightmares come and you get blown away And up in your room your walls are cold You find your head is holding out For the welcome of a better day Then the nightmares come and you get blown away And up in your room, your walls are getting colder Like you're getting on a roller coaster You can't find the breaks When you're giving everything away Everybody lets you pay You're saving up for a better day You're seeing things in a better way When you know you've got to live There's nothing you won't give To hear the phone and not let it ring Every Monday morning Shughie found love and he almost cried We laughed and wondered why We loved the sky and found the space And gazed out over Stevie's plane But then the nightmares come when your friends go away And up in your room your walls are cold You find your head is holding out For the welcome of a better day Then the nightmares come, you get blown away And up in your room, your walls are getting colder Like you're getting on a roller coaster You can't find the breaks Then the nightmares come
