Once upon a thrill
From a kiss to a swill
We were swallowin' the nights like we had nine lives
Dead and gone so long
Seventeen so gone
Dead and gone so long
Seventeen so
We were borderline kids with a book of disorders
Medicatin' every day to keep the straightness in order
Dead and gone so long
Seventeen so gone
Dead and gone so long
Seventeen so gone
It's the false side of hope
Where believers concede
And there's only memories when it's over
So pour out some liquor
Make it an old fashioned
Remember your youth in all that you do
The plank and the passion
They were the best of times
They were the best of times
They were the best of times
They were the best of times
Of your life
Once upon before we were brilliant and bored
Two dashes of the bitters
Add some ice and you pour
Dead and gone so long
Seventeen so gone
Dead and gone so long
Seventeen so gone
It's the false side of hope where believers concede
And there's only memories when it's over
So pour out some liquor
Make it an old fashioned
Remember your youth
In all that you do
The plank and the passion
They were the best of times
They were the best of times
They were the best of times
They were the best of times
Of your life
Get boozy boozy boozy
Now it looks like a wasteland
Get boozy boozy boozy
Not the way that we remember
Get boozy boozy boozy
One more sip for the past
Get boozy boozy boozy
And always tip your bartenders
Get boozy boozy boozy
Get boozy boozy boozy
Get boozy boozy boozy
Get boo
So pour out some liquor
Make it an old fashioned
Remember your youth in all that you do
The plank and the passion
They were the best of times
They were the best of times
They were the best of times
They were the best of times
