When I had dreams
When I was young
Used to hear voices
Used to sing along
I'd play them black keys
And push them pedals down
Used to breathe blessings
All around town
Used to get down
Used to get wild
Used to get holy
Used to start fires
Used to harmonize with the stereo
Now I just drone drone
Used to smile
Used to believe
Used to get jacked up on coffee
Used to say hello what's up
Used to count prime numbers from the bottom up
Used to have manners
When I was a boy
Now I'm just a monster to myself
Vcr clock is blinking twelve twelve twelve
Now I just drone drone
Used to write songs
Used to hum tunes
Sweet melodies, I used to croon
Used to practice. used to rehearse
Used to fast forward
Used to reverse
Used to rewind. used to record
Used to have a fifteen-passenger ford
Cops searched the van
Took their time from the dairy queen
To the state line
I used to say check check one two on the microphone
Now I just drone drone
