Lyrics
Placebo - Try Better Next Time
Album: 'Never Let Me Go' (2022)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
