The city is lost in all its angles The streets are all a tangled mess of endless self-restriction In carving out a negative space they left a blank where you should put your face And tell 'em all about the good that I know you know In your eyes, the good I know you know In your mouth, the good I know you know It's the good I know you know Buried deep inside your soul Or wherever you keep those kinds of things Wherever you keep that song you like to sing The country air is a refined thing Like the gentle sway of an old porch swing Where generations have passed one by one Slow is sweet, lest its worse for the wear I know that sometimes change is a cross to bear But I can see it in your wrinkled stare, the good I know you know In your eyes, the good I know you know In your ears, the good I know you know It's the good I know you know Buried deep inside your soul Or wherever you keep those kinds of things Wherever you keep that song you like to sing La, la So carve yourself some negative space And fill that void with your precious face And tell 'em all about the good that I know you know
