Everything is better now
Better than it was before
Sunshine on a golden bough
Darkness locked behind closed door
Now I found a better place
Somewhere I can lay my head
Clean fresh air and open space
Safe upon my feather bed

I've been a mistake maker
For all of my days
And a law breaker
But crime never pays
An overtaker
On life's highways
A serial faker
Making getaways

Everything is better now
Better than it was before
Sunshine on a golden bough
Darkness locked behind closed door
Now I found a better place
Somewhere I can lay my head
Clean fresh air and open space
Safe upon my feather bed

I've been a mover and a groover
In the halls of power
A real bad loser
In my darkest hour
A high seas cruiser
Searching tropical flowers
A pick and choose
In an ivory tower

Everything is better now
Better than it was before
Sunshine on a golden bough
Darkness locked behind closed door
Now I found a better place
Somewhere I can lay my head
Clean fresh air and open space
Safe upon my feather bed

Now I'm a man of peace
With a hungry soul
For I found release
In a lost loophole
I'm the masterpiece
Who just scored the goal
Let the love increase
Now I'm in control

Everything is better now
Better than it was before
Sunshine on a golden bough
Darkness locked behind closed door
Now I found a better place
Somewhere I can lay my head
Clean fresh air and open space
Safe upon my feather bed

Everything is better now

Now I found a better place
Somewhere I can lay my head
Clean fresh air and open space
Safe upon my feather bed
