what of those golden days? I heard they don't want you in the world you made so much for all the rage do people get burned out even on the humble phase? what of hope and what of gloom when the glow has left the room? first on the moon knew every girl who crossed the room first in the stars broke every bottle in the bar the ribbons are blue first on the moon what of that endless space the money you burned up trying to gild her cage? was it one endless face parades to pawn shops? you paved the way what of hope and what of gloom when the glow has left the room? first on the moon knew every girl who crossed the room first in the stars broke every bottle in the bar the ribbons are blue first on the moon so if you see my face and I'm downtown looking backwards still wincing from the days of you he had to have you too and you had no idea of the phases of the moon you had no idea did you?
