Some Old World I Used to Know Lyrics by Big Harp

White Hat

2011

When the world has turned to smoke
And the wind begins to rise
I'm gonna clime up to the roof
And count the ashes drifting by
Like a walker on a wire
Twisting crazy to and fro
If the world is gonna tumble
Hell, I don't wanna miss the show
Hey there goes my hometown
I'd know that dust anywhere
There goes my first lover
Man I hardly even care
There goes my old goldfish
Finally got out of his bowl
There goes some old world
I used to know
I've been lonesomе on the mountains
I've been crowded in thе hallow
I've been swept up into laughing
When I didn't know what for
I've had everybody eating
Shit and soil from my palm
But when I tried to make them miss me
They didn't notice I was gone
There goes all the money
That I spent on midnight blow
Maybe those were good times
Still, I'm glad to see them go
There go all my old friends
Still out digging deeper holes
Oh, there goes some old world
I used to know
