BACK IN
THE DAY
You are my friend from "Back in the day"
where we had VIP' passes
And the numbers no one else could call. We saw the Trendsetters - ones who started it all. Midnight at the Mabuhay Gardens SVT amps bled the sound Spotlights cast through the darkness from the stage with the brick back background. Sitting on Black leather sofa's Eyes bloodshot and out of focus smelling the skunk weed w/your rum and coke Masterson and Johnson at sound "Check Check" Telling the latest joke..... Back before we knew that Courtney was Love and Ginger Coyote was our Favorite Spice We were yet to become Intimate Friends so naughty yet so nice.... Back in the day..the nights were so black and hot.. that we Elevated many stories High above that vacant lot, over the fence of the Holiday Inn and we had just dived right in. Punks fully dressed in all their clothes, pushing themselves up and out of the pool. igniting and lighting the amber light of their cigarettes..".Only Lovers left alive" with " No Regrets.." We were searching for something more. We thought we saw you out on the Avenues..playing your" Translator "Radio Before it would be killed by the Video Star... Electra the sound man leaned on the bar, and Ness the salesman would lease out the cars. Last night you read me the letter from that guitarist who really had a knack we would all meet in Frisco, for yet another Comeback Back in the day it was all yet to come But now we just "Look Back"....and our heart full of fun. But I want to thank you for reminding me again For a moment I was every age right up til the end Every thing came back as clear as day It's as if No time had passed I was Back in the day.....
