Went for a walk the old king's road, To see if was there. But there was nobody at 3 bywater street, And they had sold square. And I remember in my tie dye sweater, And my corduroy flares. As I on doors, And walked down one-way streets led nowhere.
Ah, did ya ever think it last forever? Did ya ever think that it would get this Did ya ever that everything would get so crazy?
Now the chelsea drug needs a fix, in a state of ill repair. And my cuban heels are my feet, to add to my despair. La-di-dahs drove cars in the summertime. (in the summertime) Now they're towed away for parking on a yellow line, And can't pay the fine. (did you think) Did you ever think all believe the hype? (did you think) Did you ever think the classes all would back to type? (did you think) Did you ever think the system ever got it right? Oh, baby.
They filled us of false illusions and promiscuity, And they led us down that road to mediocrity. As we walked that alley way of hope, We we'd found the motherload, But we led like lambs to that promise land, With all the debts we would owe. Once trendies for tourist pictures in the summertime. (in the summertime) Not content with taking polaroids, they purchased all the property they could find, And just sold mine. (did you ever!)
Did ya ever think that this and plesant land, (did ya think) Would end up in the bottom of garbage can, (did ya think) A dustbin full of and half-hearted plans. Oh, baby.
Did ya, did ya, did ya think? Did you think? (in the summertime)
Now miseries and groaners moan and about the good old times and whine, whine, whine. (did ya think) Did ya ever think things were really fab, (did ya think) That we'd be through a dustbin for a dog-end to drag, (did ya think) And sleep on park wrapped in plastic bags. Oh, baby.
Did ya ever think it would get this crazy? (did ya think) Did ya ever think that it would get way? (did ya think) Did ya ever think that we would pay the for being lazy?
