XTC - Better Days Lyrics

Run away, in fear of me dying today
Yeah, I run away
In fear of me dying today
And I'm not the same
Who said I was subject to change?
My demons are breaking out of the cage
I'm praying that I see another day (Chill)
I said my demons are breaking out of the cage
On my knees I pray for better days
Chip chip, cheerio, everything's all good, right?
I got rich, I got rich, I'm livin' that fast life
Couple M's in my bank account, I got cash right
And that's supposed to make me happy
I got a couple questions, how come that shit don't ever make me happy?
Money give me an erection but that don't mean it's gon' be everlastin'
Yeah I know it's a blessin' but how come it always feel like the devil plottin'?
And the devil watchin'
He see me buyin' all these watches, Benjamin Franklin in my pocket
Oh, been a year, of the glisten and glam
And the TV channel's brain's goin' scramble
Scramblin' sometimes, 'cause this shit is hard to handle
Demons in my heart, they destroy me like a vandal
Take my hand
Don't give up
Take my hand
Don't give up
Yeah, I run away
In fear of me dying today
And I'm not the same
Who said I was subject to change?
My demons are breaking out of the cage
I'm praying that I see another day (Chill)
I said my demons are breaking out of the cage
On my knees I pray for better days
Karma ain't what you think it is
Super stressed, still handle all of my business
Do the best I can, yes I can
Yes I am, misfortune
I know in the dark they be lurkin' (Why?)
Saying what they lurking your head when they get in your mind
You don't wanna know what they're tryna find
I'll protect your soul
Take my hand
Don't give up
Take my hand
Don't give up
Yeah, I run away
In fear of me dying today
And I'm not the same
Who said I was subject to change?
My demons are breaking out of the cage
I'm praying that I see another day (Chill)
I said my demons are breaking out of the cage
On my knees I pray for better days
