If I ask it one way
it might seem all OK
fatty coils of half-formed thought
As day runs into day
day runs into day, yeah
But now my thoughts run over
the hour begins to chime
and all those things I never was
get listed as lost time
oh, a list of lost time
Oh, a list for lost time
Well as a child your dreams are clear
but as you grow they blur
as all those things you could have been
become what you never were
what you never were yeah!
But now I’m old and obvious
I’m jaded and Im free
of all those stagnant vines of future
hangin off of me,
hang it all and get free!
oh, hang it all and get free
And even if this life ain't strictly luxury
Well hell at least I'm never bored
Cuz even a short life that's scant on victories
is better than long life that's been ignored,
beats a life that's been ignored
No one can make it easy
But I think I never tried
left my thoughts inside my head
and tried to get outside
into the bright outside
And now the future's laying out
its green and wide and wild
And just for once it's good
to greet that distance with a smile
yeah, an older wiser smile
Yeah, enjoy it for awhile
(the part where you should drop acid)
And even if this life ain't strictly luxury
and even if I know I'm past my prime
Ill be damned if I just sit here counting missed connections
with nothing but these lists of my lost time
all of these lists for lost time
