"Then And Now" Lyrics

When I first saw you baby
Yeah you were gone
So far gone
The scene was set for armageddon
And your grip on me was strong

If you saw me yesterday
You wouldn't recognize my face
If you saw me yesterday
Yeah you might've ran away

Sister uptown,
You're a metaphor for all life's grief and pain
Brother downtown
Such a devil, make a snake out of any man

If you saw me yesterday
You wouldn't recognize my face
If you saw me yesterday

Don't feel like crawlin' out of my cage
I used to say
Another lame song and dance
About a thing from my past
I hope it's not boring you
In the end I lost a few friends
But I got up, I got up
And I ran away

Drugs party in 526 is where I got my kicks
But where are they today?
Dead and gone, the damage is done
I got nothin' else to say

If you saw me yesterday
You wouldn't recognize my face
If you saw me yesterday
Yeah you might've ran away
If you saw me yesterday
Yeah you might've ran away
