Lyrics Something Good - The Bottle Rockets

Something Good

Well we faded like the flowers
When you phased just like the moon
Then you left me empty-handed
On the dark side of the room
I was swinging for the fences
I was pouring out my heart
While you marveled at the plastic
That they use these days in cars
We had somethin' good
But good was never good enough for you
World turns
Rome burns
Can’t you hear that fiddle sound?
Time flies
Elvis dies
It’s all over but the shoutin' now
We had somethin' good
So you blamed the TV preachers
And you blamed your checkered past
Then you tossed me out
Like all your favorite things that never last
Seems the world has caught your fever
As it moves from fling to fling
But the devil’s in the details
And it still don’t change a thing
That we had something good
But good was never good enough for you
World turns
Rome burns
Can’t you hear that fiddle sound?
Time flies
Elvis dies
It’s all over but the shoutin' now
We had somethin' good
But good was never good enough for you
World turns
Rome burns
Can’t you hear that fiddle sound?
Time flies
Elvis dies
It’s all over but the shoutin' now
And we had somethin' good
But good was never good enough for you
