Lyrics:
why
I still feel the same way I did when I was 17
I still look over my shoulder waitin' for the world to change
But these are the good old days
Music by 10,000 Maniacs - Lyrics by Mary Ramsey
Shards of glass cut through my gaze
Broken streamers hanging at my legs
Drunk and giddy full
These are my people
This is a land where my forefathers lie
These are my people
In brotherhood, we're heirs of a creed to live by
A creed that
crazy
For making all these claims
But I swear before this day is over
You folks are gonna see some rain
Hey Lizzy
Well a man's gotta have a dream
into night
These are the days by the sparkling river
His timely grace and our treasured find
This is the love of the one magician
Turned the water
These are the days we will remember
So take 'em by the hand, they're yours and mine
Take 'em by the hand and live your life
Take 'em by the hand
crazy
For making all these claims
But I swear before this day is over
You folks are gonna see some rain
Hey Lizzy
Well a man's gotta have a dream
These are my people
This is the land where my forefathers lie
These are my people
In brotherhood, we're heirs of a creed to live by
A creed that
the pen I'm deranged
A maniac untamed, fighting through
Guards in every line, it's a cage
Maniacal, mad man of the day
Nobody's safe when I'm wanting
For 10,000 days
But my most hated of old friends is time
He comes my way to steal away these hurts of mine
Today like yesterday I feel the same
When
Look the world right in the eye
Eat the countries that are making billions
Sweet as homemade apple pie
Saved by crumbs for all the starving
Coming out to the light of day
We got many moons that are deep at play
So I keep an eye on the shadow's smile
To see what it has to say
You and I
in the baby carriage
Was wired to the radio
These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us
Y'all looking for
A fairy tale
Day by day
The soul mate
Someone polite
Who makes you fly
Fly in the sky
Someone who can make your day
Someone who can
people in the street
High low
People in the street high
Low high
Low i was living in a wasteland
Dominated by these maniacs
These complete creeps
I was
a maniac
Go and tell the whole world Mr. Pain is back
So get them thangs out, you betta lock up ya house
And tell the cops they let the animals out
Break
in the baby carriage
Was wired to the radio
These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us
But it's too late
You made your mistakes
Man you know second chances these days
Are so hard to come by
I love that lady
So you best forget
Ever
Shouldn't have had her curtains open, so that's her fate
Leavin out her house, grabbed the bitch by her mouth
Drug her back in, slammed her down on the couch
Knowing you stand by me through good and bad
Makes all the difference in my life
And day by day sweetheart I find
These are the ties that bind
the same dream
As time goes by we will find
These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times
The tender times we'll hold
the same dream
As time goes by we will find
These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times
The tender times we'll hold
what these muthafuckin lames
Are laughing at, I hate your raps
In fact, I'll take your raps
And wrap em in a bag
And shove em up your ass
So you can be
Listen to the rain fallin' day by day
Listen to the rain fallin' day by day by day
Hey
I hear you calling, voices are here again
I hear you whisper,
