It's Not Getting Any Good - The Wrens

While I’m / working to afford to have fun with you I’m distracted

To / stillness by the thinking of you from beach to top mountains

Paula this / in-distinguished suburb grinds my sleep teeth to ruin and powder

You know it to be / true you heard it held me woke me close whispered how it’ll

Be soon you said / worry baby sleepy head

But it’s not getting any good

That’s a bandage / that we’ve been using

(That's a bandage, a we-ooh, we-ooh, whoa-oh)

Best of a decade / not while we’re here in Secaucus bound

(Some-bah, some-body-ah)

But it’s not getting any good

Cut back to / me young and un-pressured in contrast to aunts and to uncles

8 and 10 / older at the cusp of adulthood away walk from play time

I knew then of / those days gold status how they’d look back to fix their

hearts worn (worn)

And yet here I am write of when I had so many they were of

No value when

Laid unnumbered end to end

But it’s not getting any good

Let’s stop pretending / in never endings

(Let's stop pretending, a we-ooh, we-ooh, whoa-oh)

Another decade / or until we’re out of the hope you found

(Some-bah, some-body-ah)

But it’s not getting any good

Let’s abandon / this house to Camden

(Let's abandon, a we-ooh, we-ooh, whoa-oh)

Messed up a decade / let’s get away from these home and towns

(Some-bah, some-body-ah)

But it’s not getting any good

Cause something’s missing / we hide by kissing

(Cause something’s missing, a we-ooh, we-ooh, whoa-oh)

Rest up a decade / we’ll need our strength to escape this town

(Some-bah, some-body-ah)

Can’t tell myself from hopes I’ve drowned

(Some-bah, some-body-ah)

Can’t tear myself from this safety town

(Some-body-ah, some-bah)

Can’t tell each other from stupid clowns

(Some-body-ah, some-body-ah, some-bah)

But it’s not getting any good
