Tricky Fingers Lyrics

When the real powdered sweetheart took a moment to reflect

By the time she had awoke, there wasn't anybody left

And apart from the melodrama, well it just gets better from here

You see, mother was a lover of the truly accidental

Had a wet sense of humor and a Lincoln Continental

If you're happy and you know it, then it just gets better from here

It just gets better

Life is such a permanent gyp

Those tricky fingers seem to rub you the wrong way

They pull the levers in the big brain, gonna get your shit straight

No chance to speak before the end comes

No chance for "thank you's" but you're welcome

Cause everybody's welcome here

And on those fat, hazy Wednesdays, with a bittersweet neglect

By the time that help arrived, she had a thought that did inject

That you know what they are thinking cause it just gets better from here

It just gets better…

There's better ways to spread it on thick than with a spoon

And since the knife is busy pointing you should tell it to them true

If you're happy and you know it then it just gets better from here

It just gets better…life is such a permanent fix

Those tricky fingers seem to rub you the wrong way

They pull the levers in the big brain, gonna get your shit straight

No chance to speak before the end comes

No chance for thank you's but you're welcome

Cause everybody's welcome here

So the sky can fall upon you now

And the wooled-overed eyes can

Find the light that gets between the cracks

And watches them undress

Soon every weekend with the Christians in potato salad daze

Everybody seems to be too drunk, so everybody stays

If you're happy and you know it, then it just gets better from here

It just gets better from here
