Long Lost You

Long lost you Last night I met that singer we used to idolize And she's just like normal people Drinks beer and eats fries And after her show she wants to know Where's the party at? And the party's in a loud beer hall where we all sit around and chat I don't think of you Well, it's been so long now That time has cooled the pain But she played that song you used to love And I could see your face again For all I know you're dead and gone For all I know you're carving up some other girl With her back up in the corner How you isolate the two of you against the world It was hard loving you Easy as it was to go fool around in the ladies room Two girls in a big high school But between your moods and the rocks they threw I got a little bit confused Who's my enemy? It was easy To adore you, it was easy to stand in awe Of your talent and your temper How you sucked my poor soul raw Easier to be picked on by the boys Who wielded words and weight and ran the show Impossible to leave you When you broke your skin and pleaded with me not to go I want you to know That it's a big, bright world here and I intend to fly The skinny girl you stuck your claws in Till she wished that she could die You'd never recognize me In the huddle of musicians 'round an old guitar And they say it's not an easy life I picked But it's fun; I wouldn't call it hard It was hard loving you Easy as it was to go fool around in the ladies room Two girls in a big high school But between your moods and the rocks they threw I got a little bit confused Who's my enemy? Long, lost you Last night I met that singer we used to idolize
