David Arn - Better Off Today lyrics

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 Walked 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
