Once upon a thrill, from a kiss to a swill
We were swallowin' the nights, like we had nine lives
Dead and gone so long, seventeen's so gone
Dead and gone so long, seventeen's so...
We were borderline kids with a book of disorders
Medicatin' every day to keep the straightness in order
Dead and gone so long, seventeen's so gone
Dead and gone so long, seventeen's so gone
It's the false side of hope where believers concede
And there's only memories when it's over
So pour out some liquor, make it an old fashioned
Remember your youth, in all that you do, the plank and the pa**ion
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
Of your life
Once upon before, we were brilliant and bored
Two dishes of the bitters, add some ice and then you pour
Dead and gone so long, seventeen's so gone
Dead and gone so long, seventeen's so gone
It's the false side of hope where believers concede
And there's only memories when it's over
So pour out some liquor, make it an old fashioned
Remember your youth, in all that you do, the plank and the pa**ion
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
Of your life
Get boozy, boozy, boozy (now it looks like a wasteland)
Get boozy, boozy, boozy (not the way that we remember)
Get boozy, boozy, boozy (one more sip for the past)
Get boozy, boozy, boozy (and always tip your bartenders)
Get boozy, boozy, boozy
Get boozy, boozy, boozy
Get boozy, boozy, boozy
Get boo-
So pour out some liquor, make it an old fashioned
Remember your youth, in all that you do, the plank and the pa**ion
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
