When we were in love
I pretended that you didn't exist
That way I loved you more
You suggested we get married and move into a house
I suggested that we jump overboard and live underwater
In the lost city of Atlantis where mermaids sing
And tuxedoed dolphins bring you breakfast
One year later I was transferred to the moon
Worse pay, better hours
I was transferred to the moon
Worse pay, better fellow workers
I built our love out of blood
I went to the dentist
And told him "Take out my heart!"
I feel better than James Brown, I feel better now
I was attending Mardi Gras with Fidel Castro
Buxom cross-dressers threw fake gold coins at our feet
As we discussed the fate of the revolution
Suddenly, CIA men dressed in bikinis
Tried to stab us with fountian pens
Fidel blew mustard gas through his cigar
And immobilized the lot of them
Nineteen tequilas later we had a deal
Havana goes back to the mob
And Fidel and I open a chain
Of Kentucky Fried Chicken shops
Ain't life sweet
I feel good
I feel better than James Brown, I feel better now
I feel better than James Brown, I feel better now
How do you feel? |
