"Try Better Next Time" lyrics - PLACEBO

PLACEBO
"Try Better Next Time"
(Cody Jet Molko / Stefan Olsdal)

At the core of the earth it's too hot to breathe
There's nothing much to eat and everybody leaves
There's a place in the forest where the animals dance
Carefree and joyous like nobody's watching
And nobody's watching

So they laugh and they dance around mahogany trees
Completely unawares they're gonna end up as meat
And nobody's watching

[Chorus:]
Wake up, wake up
Try better next time
Wake up, wake up
Cry better next time

Wake up, wake up
Try better next time
Wake up, wake up

So you know me, understand me
Is that what you think?
You haven't met the monster who wakes up when I drink
I was born out of time, I'm not meant to be here
With the weight of the world and the weight of a tear
Are exactly the same

[Chorus:]
Wake up, wake up
Try better next time
Wake up, wake up
Cry better next time
Wake up, wake up
Try better next time
Wake up, wake up

[Chorus:]
Wake up, wake up
Try better next time
Wake up, wake up
Cry better next time
Wake up, wake up
Try better next time
Wake up, wake up

There's a spot in the ocean and that's where we'll meet
Somewhere far away where fish can nibble at our feet
And we can grow fins, go back in the water
Grow fins go back in the water
Grow fins go back in the water
Grow fins go back in the water

[Chorus:]
Wake up, wake up
Try better next time
Wake up, wake up
Cry better next time
Wake up, wake up
Try better next time
Wake up, wake up

[Chorus:]
Wake up, wake up
Try better next time
Wake up, wake up
Cry better next time
Wake up, wake up
Try better next time
Wake up, wake up

It's a gas, it's a party on this planet of flakes
Somebody take a picture before it's too late
