Good Times Lyrics - Stan Ridgway

Night, the city 

Its dark and lonely streets 

Rain falls on my face 

Mixed with salty tears 

Confirm your happiness 

Everything is looking good 

Look down, feel the pain 

Falling teardrops to the ground 

Chorus: 

Think back through the phrases 

Restore sanity to the mind 

You know she's gone now 

Are these not the good times? 

Good times, good times 

Believe in them pretty soon 

When I'm over the pain of missing you 

Good times, good times 

Arrivin' just as soon as 

The flames extinguish the memories that I knew 

Thinking these old things 

Had worked out fine 

When I knew it'd hurt you 

If you knew you were hurting me 

Day breaks, clouds move 

And the sun comes through the rain 

But for now I'm livin' back 

In the stormy night 

Chorus: 

I gotta think back through the phrases 

Restore sanity to the mind 

You know she's gone now 

Are these not the good times? 

Think back through the phrases 

Restore sanity to the mind 

You know she's gone now 

Are these not the good times? 

Good times? good times? 

Good times, good times 

Believe in them pretty soon 

When I'm over the pain of missing you 

Good times, good times 

Arrivin' just as soon as 

The flames extinguish the memories that I knew
