This Is Where It Gets Good
Eels · Tomorrow Morning [2010]
I look upon you
Can't wait until tomorrow
The things that we'll do
And this
Is where
It gets good
Permission to speak freely?
Well, I really must confess
I can't stop thinking 'bout you
Gettin' out of your dress
And this
Is where
It gets good
The sky in your eyes
The earth in your touch
The spirits come together
Well, it's almost too much
And this
Is where
It gets good
This Is Where It Gets Good
