Once upon a thrill from a kiss to a swill

We were swallowing the nights like we have nine lives.

Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone

Dead and gone so long, seventeen so...

We were borderline kids with a book of disorders

Medicating every day to keep the straightness in order.

Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone

Dead and gone so long, seventeen 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 passion

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 dashes of the bitters, add some ice and you pour.

Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone

Dead and gone so long, seventeen 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 passion

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 bartender.

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 passion

They were the best of times, they were the best of times

They were the best of times, they were the best of times.
