Better Way To Go Lyrics - Peter Mulvey

I just came from the guru's website 

I'm still washing off the smell 

Man, why don't he just go on TV 

And tell us all, "Give up or go to hell" 

I was only looking if they had something to say 

Lately it has been hard to get through my day 

I was looking for something I just don't know 

I've been looking for a better way to go 

Because there's something missing deep inside me 

That's as common as the rain 

I'm long on good intentions 

But I've got zero tolerance for pain 

And in this, I'm like everyone I find 

We try, it's so hard to just be kind 

And the ones we love, sometimes we hurt them so 

So we're looking for a better way to go 

I'm going crazy 

With the sirens from the past 

Am I too lazy 

to lash my sorry ass to the mast? 

Everyday, I lose another chunk of myself 

Everyday there's more junk upon my shelf 

And the biggest joke of all 

Is the one that we all know 

Time is the only road 

Everyone knows where it goes 

I don't want a destination different from the rest 

I don't want to win because I tried my best 

I only hope there is somebody there to know 

And so please help me find a better way to go
