The days that I once knew

I never thought you'd act so mean
but baby you told me you loved me
you told me you cared!

but baby you know that
darling I love you (You Know that you lied!)
darlin I love you (you know that you lied!)

Cast adrift in space no fear
By a pepper moon
Look at all the waves out here
Did we peak too soon?
All the deadly dreams we had
That I can't believe
The universal messages
That we don’t receive

Even though we know it's forever changing
Even though we know we lie and wait
Even though we know the hidden danger
I hope it's not too late

Slowly follow shining stars
Feel the solar flare
I'm on borrowed time right now
And I'm low on air
It's a pity you can't see such a travesty
Gonna give myself to the deep majesty

Even though we know it's forever changing
Even though we know we lie and wait
Even though we know the hidden danger
I hope it's not too late

Even though we know it's forever changing
Even though we know we lie and wait
Even though we know the hidden danger
I hope it's not too late

Even though we know it's forever changing
Even though we know we don't have long
Even though we know there's a hidden danger

I hope we don't go wrong

I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And drank til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and fan

Well, o.k. I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad

You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you french toast again

Well, o.k. I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad

We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. We get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are you so sad

Young teacher the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing
This girl's an open page
Book marking - she's so close now
This girl is half his age

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dry

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staff room
The accusations fly
It's no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by Nabakov

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me
