never felt better

i buckled my bows, tied off my debts
i howled at the moon, smoked chain cigarettes
i cut out my heart, spit it into the fire
watched the steam rise and rain down like desire
but i never felt better
no i never felt better

there's a horse with a wagon, and he pushes it up a hill
there's a woman in an apron, leaning over the sill
there's a plane in the basement, i get in and fly away
the voice on the radio says rain today
and i never felt better
no i never felt better

the sailors are singing of far and away
the waitress is pushing forever today
i'm working you out of my heart like a sin
working you out
from under my skin

it takes a kind of courage to walk out on galilee
and there's more that you feel than you're willing to see
i know there's chances you take from the cradle to the grave
but the voice on the radio says rain today

and i never felt better
no i never felt better
