Some better place

I think I need a change
the weather's been bad too long
everybody's complaining everywhere
Christ is a clotheshanger now
the red king's seat is empty
and I put my laundry there
oh there ain't no other place
no other place

I think I'm gonna move
the butter's gone rancid
the curtain is up and I'm naked
I've put the house in order
I even combed the grass on the lawn
but I can no longer fake it
there must be some better place
some better place

       I'm gonna see my friends
       seems like it never ends
       I'll take something to eat
       and a good book to read
       and I'm gonna take some wine
       some good stories to kill time
       in some better place
       some better place
