One Way Street Lyrics - Singles - Tom Schecter & The Urchins Of South Street

Traveled through time last night 

Couldn't find the old me 

I outgrew the one bar I never thought I'd leave 

Never felt out of place on Tompkins Square till I ran that gauntlet, 

With fully open eyes in a necktie and sleeves 

And I believe 

That the good old days 

Weren't all that good to me 

And I can see 

That if the world keeps turning in the same direction 

We're all walking a one-way street 

I made one more stop on my way home 

Another old stomping ground of mine is about to close 

Can't say I'll miss it that much 

It wreaks of tequila and of underage love 

But it's oh so close to where I want most to be 

And I believe 

That the good old days 

Weren't all that good to me 

And I can see 

That if the world keeps turning in the same direction 

We're all walking a one-way street 

Swear to god, there was a moment in time when I walked down your block each night 

Just to see if I could will you to appear 

Use all my magic to draw you near 

'Cause you're the only one, ever drove me this mad 

Made me want to be a better man 

Well, I'm better now, but now you found yourself a friend 

And I can keep howling at the moon 

But what would that mean to you? 

And I believe 

That the good old days 

Weren't all that good to me 

And I can see 

That if the world keeps turning in the same direction 

If the world keeps moving in one direction 

We're all walking a one-way street
