Be Good Lyrics - Hothouse Flowers

Well, we went out past the city limits 

Trying to get a better point of view 

You were staring hard at me 

I was staring back at you 

And you said I was being secretive 

Said, yes maybe you're right 

But if there is logic in any of this madness 

You'll find it in my eyes 

And be good, be kind, be truthful and feel free 

And keep your wholly loving eyes on me 

I've got a history of questions 

The truth I can only feel 

What matters to me the most 

Is what is there and what is real 

We could start by shaking each other 

And talk about something else 

And I know in the end we can get to the point 

And we can go and get some rest 

And be good, be kind, be truthful and feel free 

And keep your wholly loving eyes on me 

Is it not written in the music? 

Is it not painted in the skies? 

It's time we stopped talking about soft drinks 

started talking about our lives 

There are answers in the music 

And there are answers in the words 

And if we stopped talking in circles 

We might get closer to the earth 

And be good, be kind, be truthful and feel free 

And keep your wholly loving eyes on me
