Chris Staples - 1979 lyrics

1979 was gone in a flash But you're still there Smoking reefer With a blue bandana in your hair You made a promise to yourself To stay the same As you sat in the corner Watching things around you change So what were you holding onto That we'll never know about Give us a clue About the knot that you Were trying to get out And you let yourself go To the point of never coming back All the good things were ruined When the bottom fell out of the sack You made a promise to yourself To stay the same As you sat in the corner Watching things around you change So what were you holding onto That we'll never know about Give us a clue About the knot that you Were trying to get out At the very least You are being real Your body was a captive To the way you feel
