Jeff Tweedy - Better Song Lyrics

Jeff Tweedy Lyrics

"Better Song"

Alone in the temple
Asking my heart to beat
I'm setting an example
By tapping my feet
And in the crescendo
Notes I cannot reach
A world without windows
No method to teach

I need a better song
If I'm gonna sing
I better have a better song
For you to love me

Shaking like a rattlesnake
My maraca
Waiting for my mistakes
To be forgotten
The way that my mind moves
My intention
When you hear the devil's hooves
Pay attention
If they say it's good for me
I start laughing
Everything that I sing
Is not happening

I need a better song
If I'm gonna sing
Better have a better song
For you to love me
