Lyrics
SOMETHING GOOD
You make clueless babble on a vacant street
With your unlit smoke and your shoeless feet
Flagging traffic that don't exist
Now you play the cop and you shake your fist
CHORUS:
Years ago it's true you'd lost your way
Scars show from your walk in the darkest woods
And it's a familiar song
Even the bright folks can be wrong
For no one ever would
Think you could
Do SOMETHING GOOD
Stood alone in the shadow of a church spire
With your mind and heart both on fire
Soon the poison would fill your veins
You'd sleep it off under the moon and rain
CHORUS:
It's a minor miracle you're still alive
They wrote you off throughout the neighborhood
And it's a familiar song
Even the bright folks can be wrong
For no one ever would
Think you could
Do SOMETHING GOOD
SOMETHING GOOD
Bridge:
You pulled two kids from that lake
Found their mamma's glasses on the hood
Sometimes something so bad
Is what it takes
To see SOMETHING GOOD
I know you've walked a many a broken mile
Lost your way and you lost your smile
Lost your grip and you dropped the keys
And when the cops showed up you were on your knees
CHORUS:
Years ago it's true you'd lost your way
Scars show from your walk in the darkest woods
And it's a familiar song
Even the bright folks can be wrong
For no one ever would
Think you could
Do SOMETHING GOOD
SOMETHING GOOD
SOMETHING GOOD
