I'd dream of glory days
And wonder
If dreams were as good
As gold.
I would imagine Eden,
Underneath the heaven's
Glow.
Wake up,
Turn on the lights;
This is tomorrow.
Been such a long night.
I've seen the future;
It never looked like this.
Where is the rapture?
Where is the bliss?
[Chorus]
Is this as good as it gets?
Great expectations;
Put them all to rest.
Tell me,
Is this as good as it gets?
I've been waiting so long.
Is this as good as it gets?
I dreamed about
A place of wonder;
Streets were paved
With gold.
I would imagine
We were
Travelling down
That dusty road.
Wake up,
Turn on the lights;
This is tomorrow.
Been such a long night.
I've seen the future;
Never looked like this.
Tell me, where is the rapture?
Where is the bliss?
[Chorus]
I still wait
For the Earth to move,
For some rattle and roll.
So much for your
Promised land.
Where did the promise go?
And you can dream,
And you can wonder.
It's just the way it goes,
And you can imagine Eden,
But the garden's made
Of stone.
Wake up,
Turn on the lights;
This is tomorrow.
It's been such a long night.
I've seen the future,
But it never looked like this.
Tell me, where is the rapture?
Where is the bliss?
[Chorus x 2]
Good as it...
Good as it...
Good as it gets.
Good as it...
Good as it...
Good as it gets.
