Then & Now

When I first saw you, baby
Yeah, you were gone
So far gone

The scene was set for Armageddon
And your grip on me was strong

If you saw me yesterday
You wouldn't recognize my face
If you saw me yesterday
Yeah, you might have ran away

Sister Uptown, you're a metaphor
For all life's grief and pain
Brother Downtown, such a devil
Make a snake out of any man

If you saw me yesterday
You wouldn't recognize my face
If you saw me yesterday

Don't feel like crawling out of my cage (I used to say)
Some other lame song and dance
About a thing from my past (I hope is not boring you)
In the end I lost a few friends
So I got up, I got up and I ran away

Drugs, party in 526
Is where I got my kicks
But where are they today?
Dead and gone the damage is done
I got nothing else to say

If you saw me yesterday
You wouldn't recognize my face
If you saw me yesterday
Yeah, you might have ran away
If you saw me yesterday
Yeah, you might have ran away
