i come from where the rivers meet the sea that's part of why i'm so wild and fancy free i was early into crazy ways my folks said "it's just a phase" they were hoping for better days now in my line of work i seem to see a lot more than most write 'em down pas 'em around it's the gospel from the coast reflections not just replays takin' time to escape the maze lookin' for better days i spent a year of my life one night on the beaches in old beirut seems that all they're aimin' for there is to hang around and shoot each others' lives away bloody winds on a distant bay they're lookin' for better days looking to the left looking to the right looking to the stars to shed some light hoping for a breath hoping for break hopin' for the give without the take the dreamers line the state road just to watch the runway show slouched behind their steering wheels they just watch the big jets go streakin' through the morning haze focal point of a distant gaze lookin' for better days pale invaders and tanned crusaders are worshipping the sun on the corner of "walk" and "don't walk" somewhere on us 1 i'm back to livin' floridays blue skies and ultra-violet rays lookin' for better days i'm back to livin' floridays blue skies and ultra-violet rays lookin' for better days lookin' for better days lookin' for floridays better days better days everybody's lookin' for better days somewhere beneath the shining star better days mon't you take me to better days better days i sure could use a few better days floridays
