| Once upon a thrill, from a kiss to a swill
|
| We were swallowin' the nights like we had nine lives
|
| Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
|
| Dead and gone so long, seventeen so
|
| We were borderline kids with a book of disorders
|
| Medicatin' every day to keep the straightness in order
|
| Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
|
| Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
|
| It’s the false side of hope where believers concede
|
| And there’s only memories when it’s over
|
| So pour out some liquor, make it an old-fashioned
|
| Remember your youth, in all that you do
|
| The plank and the passion
|
| They were the best of times, they were the best of times
|
| They were the best of times, they were the best of times
|
| Of your life
|
| Once upon before, we were brilliant and bored
|
| Two dashes of the bitters, add some ice and you pour
|
| Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
|
| Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
|
| It’s the false side of hope where believers concede
|
| And there’s only memories when it’s over
|
| So pour out some liquor, make it an old-fashioned
|
| Remember your youth, in all that you do
|
| The plank and the passion
|
| They were the best of times, they were the best of times
|
| They were the best of times, they were the best of times
|
| Of your life
|
| Get boozy, boozy, boozy (now it looks like a wasteland)
|
| Get boozy, boozy, boozy (not the way that we remember)
|
| Get boozy, boozy, boozy (one more sip for the past)
|
| Get boozy, boozy, boozy (and always tip your bartenders)
|
| Get boozy, boozy, boozy, Get boozy, boozy, boozy
|
| Get boozy, boozy, boozy, Get boo-
|
| So pour out some liquor, make it an old-fashioned
|
| Remember your youth, in all that you do
|
| The plank and the passion
|
| They were the best of times, they were the best of times
|
| They were the best of times, they were the best of times |
