Later
It gets better later
For the darkness falls softly
And the taxi rolls pleasantly
Toward the other side of town
On the counter at a bar
An ice cube in a glass
And a few drops left
There will be more soon
There will always be more
And the taxi slows down
And Vermouth meets Gin
It's a long way down
But it gets better later
Just breathe calmly
Let yourself be cleansed
Let yourself sink slowly
Into the twilight
Now you shiver again
It gets better later
It gets better later
Later
It gets better later
It's not burning yet
Nobody you know here
That you can step on*
And ask how things are
As if nothing's happened
It gets better later
(It gets better later)
Just breathe calmly
(Just breathe calmly)
Let yourself be cleansed
(Let yourself be cleansed)
Let yourself sink slowly into the twilight
(Let yourself sink slowly into the twilight)
(It gets better later)
Now you shiver again
(You shiver again)
It gets better later
(It gets better later)
It gets better later
It gets better later
(It gets better later)
Just breathe calmly
(Just breathe calmly)
Let yourself be cleansed
(Let yourself be cleansed)
Let yourself sink slowly into the twilight
(Let yourself sink slowly into the twilight)
(It gets better later)
Now you shiver again
(You shiver again)
It gets better later
(It gets better later)
It gets better later
It gets better later
(It gets better later)
It gets better later
