I Feel Better Than James Brown Lyrics

When we were in love I pretended that you didn't exist
That way I loved you more
You suggested we get married and move into a house
I suggested that we jump overboard
And live underwater in the lost city of Atlantis
Where mermaids sing and tuxedoed dolphins bring you breakfast

One year later I was transferred to the moon
Worse pay, better hours
I was transferred to the moon
Worse pay, better fellow workers

I built our love out of blood
I went to the dentist and told him "take out my heart"

I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now
I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now

I was attending Mardi Gras with Fidel Castro
Buxom cross dressers threw fake gold coins at our feet as we discussed the fate of the revolution
Suddenly, CIA men dressed in bikinis
Tried to stab us with fountain pens
Fidel blew mustard gas through his cigar
And immobilized the lot of them
Nineteen tequilas later we had a deal
Havana goes back to the mob
And Fidel and I open a chain of Kentucky Fried Chicken shops
Ain't life sweet?

I feel good
I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now
I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now, how do you feel?

I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now
I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now
I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now, how do you feel

Cover art for I Feel Better Than James Brown lyrics by Was Not Was

At first I thought this song was about a dysfunctional relationship. The early comments sound like bitching and sniping. But then it gets really odd...

I think it may just be about paranoid delusions.

I love the weird lyrics though. Ain't life sweet?
