Lyrics

Ephemeral Pleasures

When I was young I used to lust life
Dirt bikes and BB Guns and Jack Knives
Playing football was a Seventies child
No worries I was born to be wild

Jumping out of my bed
Jumping over their heads
Evil Knievel Dreams
Cutting class causing scenes
Making the teachers scream

Life's just ephemeral pleasures
Life's just ephemeral pleasures

Then like the seasons everything changed
Spring turned to summer my life rearranged
Fountain of youth dried out where'd the time go?
Gone with the wind blew through my young soul


Falling out of my bed
Falling onto my head
Waking up in a daze
Black and blue purple haze
Watching life fade away

Floating out of my bed
Floating over their heads
Like a beautiful dream
Some ethereal scene
Now I know what it means
