Then

We had the flu
the money was gone
everyday you wasted I was tagging along
trying to be more than friends
we were much crueler to ourselves
then

but we were young, still
older than some
lay tits out be the pool in the noonday soon
awash in carcinogens
I don't miss too much about back
then

back before luxury robbed me blind
back when you were twinkling in your daddy's eyes
promising everything, seeing no end
then

then things they got heated
cause people get pissed
and the lord rained righteous anger on us through their fists
but I was too deep in love to even defend myself
then

SOLO

then there it was done
Lord how I cried
what deeper human suffering than a dream denied
oh, play that song again
now its all just something from back
then

back before luxury robbed me blind
back when you were twinkling in your mamas eyes
staying up bitching all night, missing the sunrise
sucking down cigarettes and chewing on limes
working like a trading floor pimp
limping back home
we were spitting out good love just like it was a cherry stone
getting in free
losing my keys
freezing off little parts of you that felt like disease
eating like fools baby chili burger and fries
knocking our teeth out when we kissed the first time
and breaking good plans with our beautiful friends
Then
