Best Thing in Town Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come with me and let's go for a ride
Follow me out to the other side
As I sit around and watch you pout

[Chorus]
'Cause I know that you're the best thing in town
Best thing around
Best thing in town
Best thing around

[Verse 2]
Running wild and always running free
Exploring things that I have never seen
Hearing colors and all I see are sounds

[Chorus]
Now I know that you're the best thing in town
Best thing around
Best thing in town
Best thing around

[Bridge]
I'm seeing faces
Of mysteries of the earth
I know not one
But the aggressions of my birth
Or go to stance
Of solutions I can't find
A missing piece
Of a thought that's in my mind

See Green Day Live

Get tickets as low as $40

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]
Yeah, come with me and let's go for a ride
Follow me to the other side
As I sit around and watch you pout

[Chorus]
'Cause I know that you're the best thing in town
Best thing around
Best thing in town
Best thing around

[Verse 2]
Running wild and always running free
Exploring things that I have never seen
Hearing colors and all I see are sounds

[Chorus]
Now I know that you're the best thing in town
Best thing around
Best thing in town
Best thing around

[Outro]
I'm sick and growing tired of always playing this shit!

About

This song bio is unreviewed

The lyrics are exaggeratedly abstract – the narrator is trying to show that this person he considers the best thing in town makes him almost lose his mind. He’s describing his confusing state of mind (“all I see are sounds”, “…I can’t find a missing piece of a thought that’s in my mind”), yet admits that he’s willing to do crazy things and eagerly accept all the weirdness of this relationship, because he’s convinced that this person is worth it, since they are “the best thing around”.
