Lyrics:
A long time ago, I've been drowned
By the pressure of living
My life has been crashing down and burned
Now it's time for you to burn down with me
and buried, a long time ago
They are all the same, just part of the show
We make it great, and we built it back
As we dig our grave, theres none left to save
Words and Music: Jim Johnston
Not so long ago, we all were happy,
and what we didn't know, it didn't hurt me.
I've got you by my side, man I'm
of the time we were free
So many years ago
Before the time when we first heard
Welcome to the Home by the Sea
Sit down, sit down
Sit down, sit down, sit down
are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark
I think he's right behind me now and he's gaining ground!
But it was long ago and it was far
Hey, yeah, we the same brothas from a long time ago
We was talkinÂ' about television and doinÂ' it on the radio
What we did was to help our
the mystery
That died there in that desert sand so long ago
El Paso City
By the Rio Grande
A voice tells me to go and seek, another voice keeps telling
Long time ago when we were young
But nothing has changed
We still laugh, we still sing
We still try to get by all the bad things in life that we share

It's after midnight, it's time to come up
Fuckin with some sluts tryin to bust a nut

the look in your eyes
Don’t know where you’ve been but you sure as hell
Caught me by surprise
But last I saw you was a mighty long time ago
Tryna put
are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark
I think he's right behind me now and he's gaining ground!
But it was long ago and it was far
want it all
Believe in yourself
Even after the fall
I wish I knew that one
A long time ago
Now when I walk in the street
Got that hop in my step
kind in useless and now you see
Nature is perfect and it’s what you’ll foresee
In the doom of your mind
Make a spell to remind
Long time ago it was

I thought you died alone
A long, long time ago
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

It can take you back to the place
But it can't take you back in time
Oh, oh, it doesn't seem like it was all that long ago
Oh, oh, you can dream
ooo
Only achieved by the legs
That walked out, that walked out a while ago
That walked out a so long ago
An oh oh so long ago
I've tried but can't
created this plateau
I call it my chateau
Since a long time ago
But I had to undergo the status quo to grow
And now you know home is where the heart is
I
you in my arms so long ago
How Could I Be So Blind, when you were mine, I let you go
Your kiss brought back those long agos, I close my eyes, I can see
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from where did you go
Where did you come from cotton eye Joe
Strobe lights on the floor
Twenty Five, twenty five and I'm still alive
Based on all the lies seven years ago I should've died or been locked away
With no escape, so still I

Mentally destroyed
All the problems trying to avoid
Of everything I am annoyed
I wish I could get redeployed
A long time ago I recoiled
But by

Where oppressive Black Codes and state laws created by those brutes
Trapped us in the burning hell
