Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes - Better Days lyrics

(S. Van Zandt) I had the craziest dream last night There was thunder and lightning everywhere Hellhounds reached up and ripped a hole in the sky Pissed in the water and spit black smoke up in the air Demons were chasing me all tattooed In dollar signs, suits and ties They wanted me to party I woke up just in time I heard somebody say Better days are comin' We're gonna wake up and break this curse Better days are on the way 'Cause you know and I know It can't get no worse Sometimes the dream seems so real Comes to me over and over again Last night I swear I saw America sleeping in the streets When does this nightmare end? I got to find my baby Maybe I'll find salvation in her kiss Tell me I'm dreaming It's got to get better than this I want somebody to say Better days are comin' We're gonna wake up and break this curse Better days are on the way 'Cause you know and I know It can't get no worse I believe I see a train coming I know it's time to take a ride Shattered dreams and broken promises We gotta leave 'em all behind 'Cause you know We're gonna catch that train, baby We're gonna catch that train We're gonna catch that train I know we're gonna catch that train Whooa yea Better days are comin' We're gonna wake up and break this curse Better days are on the way 'Cause you know and I know It can't get no worse Little Jake Music ASCAP
