So Much of the Time

We unleashed a beast of bad decisions Drank martinis, committed crimes We never cleaned the slate It's hard to keep things straight So much of the time We tried living in Manhattan Swilling whiskey at a dive And I can't take all the blame For all the drinking games we played So much of the time So much of the time So much of the time How I wish that we could speak When I wasn't such a freak So much of the time I wasn't always what you wanted Not sure how I passed one test I tripped into the room My fate resigned to doom Our minds too wicked for rest Barring alien invasion And Jedi tricks of the mind Your love would cool to hate Another altered state So much of the time So much of the time So much of the time How I wish that we could speak When I wasn't such a freak So much of the time Times are changing, oh, so much As they say, I'm a little unaligned I just slept through So much of the time Ah, the wilds of Bergen County Is where you lead a happy life And on occasion you Do the things we used to do So much of the time So much of the time So much of the time And I cannot claim You ever felt the same But I loved you I'm a dead man's fuse So much of the time
