Lyrics
In a cave in Lascaux
Before Lascaux was called Lascaux
Scribbled on a cold cave wall
We were in love
Shades of hematite
Manganese oxide
Memories lost forever
Captured in a drop of amber
We were here at the same time
And what a time to be alive
We were here at the same time
It was a time to be alive
In a men's room stall
Scribbled on the bathroom wall
For a good time call
Imogen and Carl
Long time listener, first time call
A trucker with a southern drawl
Breathing hard over the line
Said, "I can't believe that we are
On Earth at the same time"
And what a time to be alive
We are here at the same time
What a time to be alive
Carved into an old oak tree
A rugged heart, I plus E
You find an old guitar and you play
Buck's Sweep No. 1 in G
We leave it in the canopy
And over time the guitar's body
Is swallowed up by the tree
Performing the slowest melody
As each string snaps successively
Stretched out over a century
An automated music piece
No music sheets
The title simply reads
We were here at the same time
It was a time to be alive
We were here at the same time
It was a time to be alive
