Way Back When

[Verse 1:] Old days golden covering the bases Back when we used to punch each other in the faces Under my skin try on the ions See how it feels let bygones be bygones Past thieves store script to the well known That's when we did it no shit from the elbow Underground meant something low water Apocalypse Cats in the trees robots and rocket ships [Hook:] Way back when…Solid Gold…That song on the radio's nice (x4) [Verse 2:] Hooks for hands trash in the can Cash in the plan flash in the pan Baseball, baseball making the catches Tearing the roof off playing with matches Bumped and bruised dumped by the girlfriend Satan and Santa Claus Waiting for the world's end Dancing in the bathroom suffering in hatred Cutting the trees down like nothing is sacred Struck by lightning brand new exciting bands Writing grants we might have had a fighting chance Words like weapons that dealt a crushing blow Under the stars on the edge of touch and go Boogey man, dirty books, fingers crossed just in case Sadly mistaken trying to make it to second base Men drew lines young boys drew knives Every study very body had to lie [Hook:] Way back when…Solid Gold…That song on the radio's nice (x4) [Bridge:] Right right back to the past Like it was, like it was Cause it ain't like it was in the old days [Verse 3:] Dry heaves it's always so wide, grief Had to learn just to be so naive Odd jobs about stories and soul models Living in a world of superheros and role models Big deals out of limits of friendship Stopping stars, photoshopping stars cars off bridges Man of the rodeo women of burlesque Epic battles and apples on the teacher's desk Crying wolves, awaking in the cave Weakness secrets taken to the grave The bigger, the better Unfair and so drastic Things made it work, long days and no plastic Uzis weighed a ton 45ths, 33rds Limits untested First kisses and dirty words Devils in the details God saw air, buddy Bad joke but ha ha very funny! [Hook:] Way back when…Solid Gold…That song on the radio's nice (x4) Way…back…when Cause it ain't like it was in the old days Old days, old days
