Lyrics:
She must have been a hell of a princess
Brush fire burning out of a midwest town
A cosmopolitan place, Topeka, Topeka, Topeka
Daddy got a new job in Lodi
SF became a mighty fine place to drown
But such a waste of grace, when I think about it now
She’s 16 again in a summer dress
Driving with a new permit
Then life came along and ruined it
I’m mystified
She ain’t Miss America
Won’t be a blushing bride
In my dirty mind
I’m the game winning quarterback
She’s cheering from the sidelines, yeah
She lookin’ wonderful
And knowing it
Take me to heaven
For the hell of it
She lookin’ wonderful
And knowing it
Joyriding in the mothership
We used to be the hometown heroes
I bet they’re wondering, where are their heroes now?
A million miles from a place like Topeka, Topeka, Topeka
Another sad story in the Tenderloin
Or heavy hitters riding high
I’ll leave it all to you to make up your minds
I’m mystified
She ain’t Miss America
Won’t be a blushing bride
In my dirty mind
I’m the game winning quarterback
She’s cheering from the sidelines, yeah
She lookin’ wonderful
And knowing it
Take me to heaven
For the hell of it
She lookin’ wonderful
And knowing it
Joyriding in the mothership
Now you’re 16 again in a summer dress
Choking on a cigarette
Then life came along and ruined it, yeah
I’m mystified she ain’t Miss America
Won’t be a blushing bride
In my dirty mind
I’m the game show heart attack
I’m taking home the grand prize, yeah
You’re lookin’ wonderful and knowing it
Take me to heaven in your burned out crypt, yeah
You’re lookin’ wonderful and knowing it
Joyriding in the mother ship
I’m mystified, yeah
#Mystified #BetterThanEzra - Hudba
How much have I been wanting a new drop from BtE?
Desperately.
I see what you did there.
I have said forever to anyone that will listen that they are the most underrated band of all time. Just hit after hit.
I can’t believe they just released a new album I’m stoked I found out late but I love them so much
Thank you for never letting the music die.
Been too long. This made me smile. I needed that. Thanks guys! Best band ever.
😂😂😂
I’ve been waiting for a new BTE song. 🎸🎶🔥
The Polar Bear of Good Health! 🙏🙏
Love that Better Than Ezra are still making music. Great stuff. These guys are GREAT live as well.
The Polar Bear of Good Health at 3:31! Love it!
I remember running through the wet grass but this is pretty damn good to. You’ve not fallen to many steps behind.
EXCELLENT👌💃💃 WELCOME BACK BTE👏💜
I love everything about this! So cool to hear the recording after hearing it live, and this video is so fun. Love my BTE boys 💜
You all have been my absolute favorite band for at least 20 years, which is weird because I'm just 23 years old.
You’re not alone!! Been to 2 shows and I’m always the youngest one there lol. I hope they get TikTok famous so more people our age hear them
Hey my fellow 23 year old
And in music news, number one on the college charts this summer was 'Better than Ezra'. And at number two: 'Ezra'
Ezra been real quiet since this dropped.
Bc the songs about a 50yr old dude abducting a 16yr in his mother ship with his diett mind
I first heard this live at their return of the legends of the fall tour. BTE is one of the only bands I’ve seen multiple times live and they always put on a hell of a show. Love this song so much.
New music-! And a tour, too! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Bangin' drums. Great song.
Have all the CDs, have been following them since high school and "deluxe" this is so welcomed! Cheers from Costa Rica
3 and a half minutes felt like a lifetime
I’ve been desperately wanting a new BTE song
Been my fave since 96! Keep it coming BTE!
I saw them at Summerfest yesterday (and I got a picture with Kevin Griffin)!
No way that’s awesome
I have always liked Better Than Ezra, and I really like this one a lot, it has a huge 80s new wave throw back feel to it
Nice! We'll see y'all August 2nd in Fort Collins.
Kind of a Killers/Gaslight Anthem sound. Digging it!
Great song.
Yes!
I really like this...
one time my ex girlfriend dragged me to a city fair and i didn't know BTE was gonna be there and honestly that moment of realization was one of the happiest moments of my stupid life lol
cheers from Lima Peru !!!
The Louisiana kings of pop rock still got it!!!
Yes!! This is what we needed! Awesome song and video!
Need a new album if this is the sound....love it!
I always wanted to start a punk band and call it, Better Than Better Than Ezra.
i actually loled at that one
Love love love it! Can’t wait to see you tonight at the El Rey! ❤❤❤
Astronomically Epic
welcome back BTE!
Enjoyed seeing this song live last night 7-22-23. Very fun night. Go see them if you ever have a chance.
Love that “Dove” you’re playing Mr. Griffin
Great song! It's been a long time since All Together Now. I miss you guys and I can't wait for the new album!
The guitars are nice
Keep on rockin' fellas ! Looking forward to the new album. See you tomorrow night in Sandpoint Idaho !!!!!
Delicious. Very bright guitars.
Yes BTE- Bringing back your rock sound!
Almost felt "indie ", right?
My gal got me tix to your show at the El Rey in Los Angeles tonight for my birthday. Can't wait to see you again. This new song dropping today is like a second bday present!!! Hope you play it tonight 😎
Damn!!!! Way to come on back, BTE!!!
I LOVE THIS SONG !!!!!! Sorry for yelling. But I do. In my Dirty Mind.
Well done gents!!
Awesome band , and it was in my feed❤
Debuted on my weekly personal music charts in July 23, 2023 edition :)
Bought Deluxe in 1995. Been a fan ever since.
Omfg they are back!!
❤YES! Fan since college. This is great
Its good. Owhoahowuahhuh and its good owhoahowauhhuh
I know that girl!
Damn you guys still got it
Come play in Arkansas
Catchy, a toe tapper!
I hope this means that a new album is on the way? I had hoped with Grateful, but nothing....
It’s good.
*WHAT YEAR IS IT*
世界１のバンド！
日本に来て下さい！
OK! im digging this jam
more.
1:06. I made it that far. Check the code.
I gotta tell ua, I’ve never heard Ezra’s music, but I infer that it’s not too good.
I saw this on my CZcams and am I the only one who thought this was an Ezra Miller diss track? I never heard of this band but I really was expecting a song about Grant Gustin being a better Flash then Erza Miller! (Grant Gustin is Berry Allen/The Flash just like RDJ is Tony Stark/Ironman, and others that have become their characters)
Loren Israel
Better than Ezra Miller
Why isn’t she from Baton Rouge? Come on BtE.
Topeka is so much more fun to say!! 🤣
It’s been too long…wow
Ezra’s still superior to these dudes
The live version of this song (see on May 5, 2023) actually sounds better than this version. Something about the live version sounds grounded, grungier, heavier thunder to the drums, a sense of real "pain" aligned to the lyrics, sounds like the days of 'Greatest Hits' or 'Closer' ...this Video here sounds a bit too poppy / synth in....but still it's overall a good jam. Can't wait for a new BTE album!!
More Freemasonic symbolism?? 🙃🤣
Fort wayne show was good. We couldn't hear your microphones. Your sound dude sucks but you guys kicked ass.
Where is topika????
Kansas
Ezra Miller?
Totally explains why you are a one hit wonder!
craptastic
I was really into the song until he started singing TOPEKA.
Something about that came across as weirdly comedic in a bad way and took me out of the song.
The Topeka part sucks
And Topeka the actual city also sucks lol
The chorus sounds a little “processed” for my tastes. I like the verses and the build pretty good then it gets to the chorus and it’s got that generic sound that’s prevalent in mainstream “country” these days.
Just miss the Friction Baby, Deluxe and Garden days where it felt like they made music from a true honest place instead of making music to fit whatever the trend of the time is.
Its definitely not Deluxe to Closer style for sure. It’s Before The Robots feel vs the older ones. Kevin writes country songs in Nashville too so that might be an influence. Reminds me a lot of American Dream and Hollow
Before The Robots is probably my favorite BTE album of all the ones that have came out post 2000. Nothing can touch the first three though.
@@spiffy8576you right about that.
No band is worse than Better Than Ezra. Except maybe Hootie and the Blowfish. But that’s a low bar
Wonk wonk wonk
Terrible
No
