What's that you say?
I knew you when?
You don't look too much like my friend
Those history books
Filled up with crooks
Stories I don't want to read again
I've tried to live one thousand years from here
When I think of it now, it just brings me down
When I think of it now
And when I think of it now, it just brings me down
When I think of you now
I'm keeping time
One day goes by
I try to live til the next one
But these history books
Full of haunted looks
From people I don't want to see again
Cause I learned to live, but they try to hold me here
You just remind me of the
Nights of smoke and dirty jokes
Darkened rooms with lonely ghosts
They were beautiful some time ago
But time keeps rollin' us on
