Good Times Ahead Lyrics - Mercury Rev

The 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 fun 

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 

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 

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 

And I believe her when she says, "I'm glad you never left" 

Better off with a lover than a friend 

Than quick before she speaks 

So quickly I ease my lips to her cheek and thank Jesus 

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 

(Just like she said) 

Oh, there's good times ahead 

(Just like she said) 

There's good times ahead 

(Just like she said, good times ahead) 

There's good times ahead 

Yeah, there's good times ahead
