25 years since I woke up trembling
25 years since that terrible dream
I could see that the world was crumbling
Nothing is ever as it seems

Tried to run but my feet were frozen
Tried to scream but there was no sound
In my head voices echoing
Girl you should know better by now

Long ago, Far away…
In the mist of yesterday

And you tried so hard to save me
How do you save someone from themselves
All those years, wasted wishes
Drowning in the wishing well…

Long ago, Far away…
In the mist of yesterday

(Hurdy - Gurdy Solo)

25 years since I woke up trembling
25 years since that terrible dream
I could see that the world was crumbling
Nothing is ever as it seems

Long ago, Far away…
In the mist of yesterday

my mother said things are fine and turned the other way my troubles she said go way back far before your day but things are all right she said it's all right you could see it on her face her days of praise had gone astray and moved on to another place

my father threw up his arms in a cold aggressive rage i've been fightin my conscience years now every single day we live alone now but no one is to blame his days away go unexplained things will never be the same

what's there to pray about? letting go is not so simple what's there to pray about? i should have picked another hero

I vent my frustration at you old man,
After years your ears will hear,
You screamed that you tried,
But it's words of a weakling,
And promises made by a liar [fucking liar],

Now you pick up that splintered chair,
That was aiming for your head,
A head that should have been long ago,
Kicked in by me alone,

I won't lose a second of sleep for this,
Not again,
Don't touch me,
No, ever again,
Don't touch me

Orphaned to the dope and drinks,
I learned my lessons well somehow, from you,
No tears can clutch my regrets,
But these years of detachment,
Have left me with demons now surfacing,
I'm becoming more than nothing,

You never knew the answers to,
Any of my questions did you,
You made up all the answers to,
My unimportant existence,

You don't have to dump me off,
Not again
Don't touch me,
Fuck no, ever again,
Don't touch me,
Fuck no, never again,

I vow, lest I die tomorrow

You'll never be the father I am,
The bastard father to
The thousands of the ugly,
Criticized, unwanted.
The ones with fathers just like you.
We're fucking you back,
I'm shoving my life
Right down your throat,
Can I find the guts,
Can I feel the heart,
Look at the ground as you choke me up,
Does it taste like tequila or failure,

We're fucking you back. (x2)

Criticized, unwanted the ones with fathers just like you,

We're fucking you back. (x3)

Don't leave me in the corner
'cos I just wanna go home.

Don't lock me in the darkness
'cos I just wanna go home.

Spent my life working on the land
trying for something of my own.

Oh
it just ain't worth it
there's nothing in return

You can't take it with you when you go.
One last look at daylight
the sun won't shine anymore

Everything was allright
but now they're closing the door.
I found out I wasted so much time

Now I'm trying to wash away the tears.
Oh
it just ain't worth it
forget that pot of gold
There's nothing at the rainbows end.

25 years
I got 25 years.
25 years
I got 25 years.

I found out I wasted so much time
Now I'm trying to wash away the tears.
Oh
it just ain't worth it
forget that pot of gold
There's nothing at the rainbows end.

It just ain't worth it
there's nothing in return
You can't take it with you when you go.

25 years
I got 25 years

25 years
I got 25 years.

It just ain't worth it - no
for 25 years.
It just ain't worth it - no
for 25 years.
It just ain't worth it - no
for 25 years. . . .
