Good for You's Good for Me Lyrics
In the fall the air is dry
In the shadow of this town.
In the summer shining out
Pushing shadows down the street.
Cross into the sunny side.
Heard an iron bell ring out.
And the leaves are coming down
Cover up this muddy ground
Good for you is good for me.
Maybe I’ll stop by.
You were in a dream I had last night.
And the sun was shining,
Never so inviting.
Yeah, the sun was shining out
Underneath the dogwood tree.
Rent is high and climbing,
Why don’t you move in?
What the hell, we might as well try.
On some hazy afternoon
Heard a siren in the air
High above the city sky
Over towers, over domes.
And the sun was shining out.
Cast my shadow on the wall.
Another year is going round
In the shadow of this town.
I don’t get some people,
But I don’t really try.
What’s good for you is good for me, for now.
In the shadow of this town.
In the summer shining out
Pushing shadows down the street.
Cross into the sunny side.
Heard an iron bell ring out.
And the leaves are coming down
Cover up this muddy ground
Good for you is good for me.
Maybe I’ll stop by.
You were in a dream I had last night.
Never so inviting.
Yeah, the sun was shining out
Underneath the dogwood tree.
Rent is high and climbing,
Why don’t you move in?
What the hell, we might as well try.
Heard a siren in the air
High above the city sky
Over towers, over domes.
And the sun was shining out.
Cast my shadow on the wall.
Another year is going round
In the shadow of this town.
I don’t get some people,
But I don’t really try.
What’s good for you is good for me, for now.

Great song, but my God, I actually don't get this one. And I'm perfect. Surprising.
Seriously, though, what's this one about, and why the fuck am I the only one to comment on it? Great imagery in this song.
its a song describing a lazy day.....its just a beautiful summery description.
he's just outside embracing the day and stops to ponder "I don’t get some people, But I don’t really try. What’s good for you is good for me, for now."
