Never Had it Better - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

One time for our mountain

Our volcano that threw herself from the sea

And when the rain striped the cement sky on the way to crown her

I covered you with a banana leaf, yeah

Two times for our lime green oceanside motel

And for the couple of nights that we decided to spend there

I found my roots in something deeper then

We called it love, or was it deliverance? Yeah, yeah

I never had it better

I never had it better than this, with you, oh, oh

I never had it better than this, yeah

I never had it better

I never had it better than this, with you, oh, oh

I never had it better than this

Three times for an August moon that just lit you right

On a hard black beach on a soft black night

We made the angels jealous, felt 'em hovering close

We called it love, we called it discovering head to toe

I never had it better

I never had it better than this, with you, oh, oh

I never had it better than this, yeah

Sometimes, when the night is warm, but the wind is cold

When my mind is young, but my body’s old

And the light is dancing like a swarm of bees

I know all we were given is shadows and dreams

And mine was a dense and reverberating jungle

And mine was a transparent cathedral

I was a bruiseless child, I was unstained light

My body is cloudy, my body was bright

And mine was an incandescent grove of rubies

And mine was that sweet fruit of electric beauty

I’ve walked the length of my mind, and feel it end

Like the edge of a shadow when the light descends

I never had it better

I never had it better than this

I never had it better

I never had it better than this

I never had it better

I never had it better than this

I never had it better

I never had it better than this
