Lyrics

Yesterworld
Copyright 1997 Virgil Brown

When I think about life
I need a cigarette
When I hear that zippo click
Maybe I’ll forget
That I’m lost again
In that comfortable place
Called yesterworld

You look like a man
Who’s been misunderstood
You’ve got that look in your eye
I can tell it’s real
I see it whenever I
Look in the mirror

I remember a girl
A girl named Christine
On the Ferris wheel
On an autumn night
On the tilt-a-whirl
In that beautiful place
Called Yesterworld

(Chorus)
Yesterworld, my mind goes back to Yesterworld
It’s all your frame of mind that’s what they say
Yes, your world and my world are the same
Once you get to Yesterworld

Can’t you let it go?
I mean that thing about your folks
And the way they broke their hearts
Against the livin’ stone
And sat pondering the pieces
With their stormy eyes

(Bridge)
Look at that cemetery, people are dying to get in
I mean it really makes you think,
The people lyin’ there
Head wedding nights, and wishing Wells

When I think about life
I need a cigarette
When I hear that zippo click
Maybe I’ll forget
But I lost again
In a beautiful place
Called Yesterworld

(Chorus)
