The Magnetic Fields Better Things

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1: Stephin Merritt]
On winter nights the mermaid sings
I was made for better things
Better things, dearie, better things

[Verse 2]
In early spring the ghost princess
Goes haunting in her pretty dress
Pretty dress, your majesty, pretty dress

[Chorus 1: Stephin Merritt & ?]
And I have heard the singing of real birds
Not those absurd birds that simply everybody’s heard
Real birds

[Verse 3]
In summer when the moon is full
The wolf boy is adorable
Adorable, you’re adorable

[Chorus 2]
I have observed the winging of real birds
Not those reserved birds that simply everyone’s observed
Real birds
