lyrics  (or you can return to the main lord eric page)

Getting Better

I'm getting better at the languages of life
It's alarming what you find when you go under that old knife
And I'm getting better at describing how I feel
It's alarmingly unreal but very nice

You placed the call, had the wherewithal to be here
I was drunk but never so clear
Now I just really want to thank you

'Cause I'm getting better at deciphering the signs
It's a solid state of mind with all the pain I've left behind
And I'm getting better picking up from where I fell
I kind of miss my private hell but I don't mind

You came around when I was on the ground feeling blue
We narrowly escaped World War Two
Sorry I threw so much bullshit at you

But I'm getting better as a rule
I went to school
And I am thankful for the chance to make
A certain amount of fool of myself
I'm feeling something that is new
And it feels good
And I am thankful for the chance to make
The choices that are good and break
The paths I see that always take
Away the real and leave the fake
