Better than is was before
Sunshine on a golden bough
Darkness locked behind closed door
Now I found a better place
Somewhere I can lay my head
Clean fresh air and open space
Safe upon my feather bed
I've been a mistake maker
For all of my days
And a law breaker
But crime never pays
An overtaker
On lifes highways
A serial faker
Making getaways
I've been a mover and a groover
In the halls of power
A real bad loser
In my darkest hour
A high seas cruiser
Searching tropical flowers
A pick and chooser
In an ivory tower
Now I'm a man of peace
With a hungry soul
For I found release
In a lost loophole
I'm the materpiece
Who just scored the goal
Let the love increase
Now I'm in control
Everything is better now Better than is was before Sunshine on a golden bough Darkness locked behind closed door Now I found a better place Somewhere I can lay my head Clean fresh air and open space Safe upon my feather bed I've been a mistake maker For all of my days And a law breaker But crime never pays An overtaker On lifes highways A serial faker Making getaways I've been a mover and a groover In the halls of power A real bad loser In my darkest hour A high seas cruiser Searching tropical flowers A pick and chooser In an ivory tower Now I'm a man of peace With a hungry soul For I found release In a lost loophole I'm the materpiece Who just scored the goal Let the love increase Now I'm in control Explain Request ×
