It was like this in 1999 It was like this in 1874 It was like this when you were a child It was like this when I was a whore, well
They were massing troops on the back of the isles They were saying those things, they were all in denial They were talking about their own front lip It smelled like, it smelled like shit and they They were eatin popcorn out of a dish They were saying, "I wish, I wish, I wish" I was buried in 1999, I was left and I left my old self behind Still living, but you know I'm not denying Said what I said, and I said this In 1918 things were better when I was nothing but a sweater
Now I'm born again as another man I'm living on this in this foreign land I used to be angora, angora fleece Didn't hear no sound, let me eat in peace
And no one knew, and no one cared And you didn't know whether you wanted to dare It's not what you were thinking then And as your resurrection breathed out cinnamon And I was not to be confused And then in 1882 they still sold it to those fucks
Things have been going wrong since the beginning And no one was losing and no one was winning They just fucked each other up
And in 1999 I was in a park in Chicago Oh, that was nice He was like a father and he knew what he was saying and wait I'm not talking about this bullshit And I went to talk to the, the Italian boys who hung out there They said that they would rather see me dead Or at least not kept They broke my jaw and I was left to thaw I walked away and I called my mom and said "Hell yeah, it sucked yeah, I loved it, break my jaw now!"
Your ring on, your ring on You got your ring on your little finger now One thing you remembered You were never even once being clever And you were, when sleeping, you were sleeping When they're saying when there was a phone yeah
Mistakes were made and I ended up in Florida Things were not right, I didn't care though What you do, and what you become Either way you end up all dumb That's all right with me now, that's all right with me now Would you want to see, well?
The troops they were massing on the porch They wanted to be the only thorn And in the court of the golf golf center I hear things were better and no one's really tougher And you're talkin loud, you're talkin proud, You talkin now? Aw shit What you said then, what you meant then What you did then was you want to have sex And you did not do, you could not do You could not pull off but you tried to Then you said, "Well, I don't need I don't need to wear myself a bikini tonight"
It brings me to the embarrassment I was sitting on a raft in pond sediment And they said, "Hell yeah, oh hell yeah You looked naked for shit but you were drunk, you didn't care" well
