Lyrics

I can still see the moon on the night we met

I have a vivid memory of the night we first met, with the moon visible.

It was shining like the grin of a fool

The moon appeared bright, resembling the grin of someone foolish or carefree.

You got into the van, drew all over the roof

You entered the van and doodled on the roof for reasons unknown, but I found it intriguing.

I don't know why, but I thought it was cool

Despite not understanding, I considered your actions cool.


You were all Doc Martens and Clove cigarettes

You had a distinctive style with Doc Martens boots and Clove cigarettes.

Black Beauties and Blue Label beer

You indulged in Black Beauties and Blue Label beer.

And though I licked every one I finally lost count

I counted the piercings around your right ear, though I lost track eventually.

Of all the holes pierced round your right ear

A reference to various nights spent engaging in harmless but rebellious activities.


All of the nights spent in harmless crime

Introduction of the recurring theme - the whine of youth - a bitter, rebellious outcry.

When will I have a better time?

A humorous take on the noise youth makes, with a playful reference to snoring.


The whine of youth, bitter roar

A description of the intense and complaining nature of youth.

The whine of youth, hear me snore

Mocking the whine of youth, perhaps suggesting it's not taken seriously.


Ten years later standing in Cozumel

A reference to a moment ten years later in Cozumel, possibly a significant event.

Left foot on a poisonous fish

A dangerous situation involving a poisonous fish and the left foot.

You almost died and your mouth turned blue

You faced a life-threatening situation, and I only thought about your lipstick.

All I thought of was your lipstick

Highlighting a focus on superficial aspects during a critical moment.


A lifetime gone and my only art left

Reflecting on the passage of time and the limited achievements, reduced to Vicodin and PS2.

Is Vicodin and PS2

Expressing a sense of loss and the impact of time on personal achievements.


I think now and then what might have been

Pondering on what could have been, with the potential outcome being bald, broke, and morally compromised.

Bald, broke and morally screwed

Humorous reflection on the consequences of certain choices and life paths.


Those were the days, God, we kicked some ass

Nostalgic reminiscence of past days when they felt powerful and rebellious.

You punkass kids get off my grass

A playful admonition to the current youth, asserting authority and superiority.
