Stephin Merritt - Better Things lyrics

[Verse 1: Stephin Merritt] On winter nights the mermaid sings I was made for better things Better things, dearie, better things [Verse 2] In early spring the ghost princess Goes haunting in her pretty dress Pretty dress, your majesty, pretty dress [Chorus 1: Stephin Merritt & ?] And I have heard the singing of real birds Not those absurd birds that simply everybody's heard Real birds [Verse 3] In summer when the moon is full The wolf boy is adorable Adorable, you're adorable [Chorus 2] I have observed the winging of real birds Not those reserved birds that simply everyone's observed Real birds
