Life And Times Lyrics - Life And Times - Bob Mould

Small pieces of truth 

Whispered on the dance floor 

Lift the hazy window for a moment 

Fresh air makes you nervous 

Why'd you have to come around 

And turn my whole world upside down? 

You're wrecking me and everything 

You don't even know what you're doing 

The pigment of your eyes 

Water color flourish moonbeam blue 

The smell of your breath 

Each day I get more used to your presence 

You're complicating things by being here 

I wasn't planning on this 

Well, somehow you're getting into my parts 

That piece of my heart I protect 

Oh well, what the fuck? 

What kicked up all this dust? 

You're taking me back to the places I've left behind 

The old, the old life and times 

I need to find my fantastic place 

The dream, don't try to take my dream away 

When I grow up, I want to keep my dream 

In a leather covered box with a blue velvet lining 

These simple things let your heart feel, yeah 

Oh, these quiet times let your heart sing, yeah 

Oh, what the fuck? 

What kicked up all this dust? 

You're taking me back to the places I've left behind 

The old life and times 

The old, the old life and times 

Oh well, ohh, ohh 

Why'd you have to come around 

And turn my whole world upside down? 

You're wrecking me and everything 

You don't even know what you're doing 

The old life and times 

The old life and times 

The old life and times 

The old, the old life and times, ohh
