Be Good - Hothouse Flowers

Well, we went out past the city limits

Trying to get a better point of view

You were staring hard at me

I was staring back at you

And you said I was being secretive

Said, yes maybe you’re right

But if there is logic in any of this madness

You’ll find it in my eyes

And be good, be kind, be truthful and feel free

And keep your wholly loving eyes on me

I’ve got a history of questions

The truth I can only feel

What matters to me the most

Is what is there and what is real

We could start by shaking each other

And talk about something else

And I know in the end we can get to the point

And we can go and get some rest

And be good, be kind, be truthful and feel free

And keep your wholly loving eyes on me

Is it not written in the music?

Is it not painted in the skies?

It’s time we stopped talking about soft drinks

Started talking about our lives

There are answers in the music

And there are answers in the words

And if we stopped talking in circles

We might get closer to the earth

And be good, be kind, be truthful and feel free

And keep your wholly loving eyes on me
