Flashback Blues |
| While window shopping through the past |
| I ran across a looking glass |
| Reflecting moments remaining in a burned out light |
| Tragic magic prayers of passion |
| Stay the same through changing fashions |
| They freeze my mind like water on a winter’s night |
| Spent most of my youth |
| Out hobo cruising |
| And all I got for proof |
| Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes |
| So goodbye nonbeliever |
| Don’t you know that I hate to leave here |
| So long babe, I got the flashback blues. |
| Photographs show the laughs |
| Recorded in between the bad times |
| Happy sailors dancing on a sinking ship |
| Cloudy skies and dead fruit flies |
| Waving goodbye with tears in my eyes |
| Well, sure I made it but ya know it was as hell of a trip. |
| Spent most of my youth |
| Out hobo cruising |
| And all I got for proof |
| Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes |
| And ten times what it grieves you |
| That’s how much more I hate to leave you now |
| So long babe, I got the flashback blues. |
| Spent most of my youth |
| Out hobo cruising |
| And all I got for proof |
| Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes |
| So goodbye nonbeliever |
| Don’t you know that I hate to leave here |
| So long babe, I got the flashback blues. |
