Better Off Today Lyrics - David Arn

Depth charge to my soul 

Jigsaw piece that makes me whole 

Leave your job today even if you don't get paid 

I detect tombstones in your spine 

Chutes and ladders you can't climb 

Work is never done, when you play you pay 

Walk streets of a battle ground 

Where as a young man gods had drowned 

Only dust at the edge even less in between 

The clock can beat you up with its big hand 

The lightest touch can lift a heart from quicksand 

She held a candle to the shore line 

Illusions of fulfillment would not be washed away 

Captain of the fishing boat throws a wave 

My bootleg angel's coming soon for love we save 

Funny how nothing in the bank makes me feel this way 

We're better off today 

She brings the beach guns 

I collect the shells 

She's got a nose for this business 

I love the way she smells 

In a young man's dream love unties every lace 

In a desperate dream love wears a stranger's face 

In my dream today love wears no alibis
