You could hardly call it sublime But it was a pretty good time She was resplendent in her fashion She lacked that certain passion I was such a keener For the lifestyle that had weaned her It was such a different scene And I tried to grow up mean And I met her in Alberta But never uttered a word-a Of feelings that I had Even when I felt real bad And life is so contrary Teenage years are scary Experience was nil And I see her still In the bar from the libraries Wars and bowls of cherries The poetry of ages The rosemaries and the sages And the wheat and wind and dirtiness Letras de cancionesThe prairies and the earthiness The clumsiness of youth And the wisdom and the truth I was thinking just the other day Was it fun, was it dumb, was it right? Guess I'll get a case of beer Looks like I'm gonna be up all night Well it was neat and almost forgotten Not quite like Johnny Rotten All the punkers drank their fill And they puked on the windowsill Of a blurry, uncertain future While bustin' all the sutures Of a past tattooed with pain Impossible to explain And it took about forty full moons And a hundred thousand sad tunes And a million barricades A bad version of Purple Haze To lift the rusty visor Of jaded night inside her Saw the starting gun And life went on the run I was thinking just the other day Was it fun, was it dumb, was it right? Guess I'll get a case of beer Looks like I'm gonna be up all night Well I tried to stay behind her But the slipstream's a sidewinder And I tripped on an ideal And my heart burned a peel So I collected my resources And I ate about seven courses And a dozen bad mistakes Served on silver plates She lived happily ever after And I got caught in the laughter A minute by the stream Of an adolescent dream And I wound up in the alley With a broken heart to rally Against a world of hurt And we ate it for dessert So I lost her in Alberta And since then I never hurt-a Her vision or her light Or her blindness of her night Me, I'm parallel with danger Now that she's become a stranger Gotta laugh when it hits the surface Too bad the past can't find a purchase I was thinking just the other day Was it fun, was it dumb, was it right? Guess I'll get a case of beer Looks like I'm gonna be up all night I'm gonna be up all night From Letras Mania
