Now and Then

It's now twenty after one

Apple Jack all on my own

Can you keep a light on

In the Pink Pussy throne

I used to be someone I loved

Now I'm Seventy years old

Wasting time on apple wine

When I should have been in cider

Liquor and poker

I'm just a joker

Living eight miles high

And the years go by

(bridge/lead break)

I'm just a brick in the wallpaper

Another year gone out the door

I danced like no one was watching

But my knees won't let me anymore

Liquor and poker

I was a spliff toker

Living eight miles high

And the years go by

I heard on the grapevine

You're someone else's valentine

living on a prayer and toast

Another one bites the crust

Liquor and poker

I'm just a joker

Living eight miles high

And the years go by
