Time O/O Lives Lyrics by Meryn Cadell

Bombazine

1993

[Spoken Intro]
When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go downtown
Dress casually but with great flair
And go to a place where the people really care
Very little about you
But they are just like you
Speakers veritably swing with sheer volume
As you shout your life story and witty repartee
Into the ear of someone who is just like you
And when you wake up in the morning
With even your socks, which you slept in, smelling of smoke
You'll know that you were yelling last night as loud as the folks out at air traffic control
Rock 'n' roll
[Chorus]
Take it all through the door
Leave your coat on the floor
I'm so happy in my disguise
Give that vodka some lime
Don't you know it's the time
Of our smoky-hazed, tragic, young lives?
[Verse 1]
There are three full floors of gyrating doors
And three fountains that spout real water
There are beautiful barkeeps who look in your eyes
They know what you need before you order
Shake it
[Chorus]
All through the door
Leave your coat on the floor
I'm so happy in my disguise
Give that vodka some lime
Don't you know it's the time
Of our smoky-hazed, tragic, young lives?
[Bridge]
I feel, I know
That here is where I feel most at home
And the highlight is the skylight
But it's always dark when I'm here
And something scratches up there like a squirrel
[Verse 2]
If your mama don't love you and your papa done gone
There's a place that loves you and your sorrow
Where we all catch the fall of the one newly wronged
Who we will not remember tomorrow
Fake it
[Chorus]
All through the door
Leave your coat on the floor
I'm so happy in my disguise
Give that vodka some lime
Don't you know it's the time
Of our smoky-hazed, tragic, young lives?
