Back then
long time ago when
grass was green
Woke up in a daze
Arrived like strangers
in the night
Long time ago when
we was fab
Back when income tax
was all we had
Caresses fleeced you
in the morning light
Casualties at dawn
And we did it all...
Long time ago when
we was fab
In my world you
were my only love
And while you're
in this world
The fuzz gonna
come and claim you
But you mo
better wise
When the buzz
gonna come and
take you away
Take you away...
Take you away...
The microscopes that
magnified the tears
studied warts and all...
Still the life flowed
on and on
Long time ago when
we was fab
But it's all over
now baby blue
Long time ago
when we was fab
Like this pullover
you sent to me
And you've really
got a hold on me
Long time ago
when we was fab
