Stan Ridgway - Good times lyrics

rate me

Night, the city

Its dark and lonely streets

Rain falls on my face

Mixed with salty tears

Confirm your happiness

Everything is looking good

Look down, feel the pain

Falling teardrops to the ground

Chorus:

Think back through the phrases

Restore sanity to the mind

You know she's gone now

Are these not the good times?

Good times, good times

Believe in them pretty soon

When I'm over the pain of missing you

Good times, good times

Arrivin' just as soon as

The flames extinguish the memories that I knew

Thinking these old things

Had worked out fine

When I knew it'd hurt you

If you knew you were hurting me

Day breaks, clouds move

And the sun comes through the rain

But for now I'm livin' back

In the stormy night

Chorus:

I gotta think back through the phrases

Restore sanity to the mind

You know she's gone now

Are these not the good times?

Think back through the phrases

Restore sanity to the mind

You know she's gone now

Are these not the good times?

Good times? Good times?

Good times, good times

Believe in them pretty soon

When I'm over the pain of missing you

Good times, good times

Arrivin' just as soon as

The flames extinguish the memories that I knew
