Wasn't It Bit Like Now (aka Parallel 23) [Live Version]

歌詞

Silly bubbles effervesce In the mothball smell of a beaded dress The "Oh, you kid"s, the marathons The bathtub gin, hungover dawns The round-framed picture, the flat straw hat The long-nosed roadster at a mile a minute flat The bell-bottom pants, the fine silk vest Are all tucked away in her cedar chest Ah-ha-ha Ah-ha-ha Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha ha-ah-ah Wasn't it a bit like now Huh Mom, huh Dad? Are all the memories really gone Gone of the best darn times I'll bet you ever had Instead of "groovy" it was "mean" And jeepers, it's wild It just doesn't seem that different now The why's are the same, it's just a question of how Doesn't it seem a little bit like now I pose this question to your arching brow Huh Mom, huh Dad? Cosmetic progress intensifies The so-cool look in my baby's eyes The far-out kids, the kicks they're on Obsolete sins, new world's dawn Three pictures for a quarter in your Carnaby hat Jet-propelled cars on the Bonneville flats Slender legs in their paisley best All tucked away in her mini-dress
