I can remember heaven

it came to me only seven years ago

when I was a lad and from the

professionals I got fired

Had a good time in a way

took a different trip a day

buried the fear that I was

only here to be borrowed or hired



Chorus: Oh what a shame, nothing can stay the same

(Shame ! Shame !)



Young enough to have some fun

old enough to hold a gun

I can remember playing games with

pistols not so long ago

Many times I reminisce

about this solitude and bliss

we enjoyed as children

O did we really have to grow ?



Chorus: Oh what a shame, nothing can stay the same

(Shame ! Shame !)



She came to me soft, asunder

showed me the distant thunder blue

told me the clouds could help us all

told me the Prophet says the Man is deep in you

I took a sonic pill and slept

begged her never tell then wept

any friend or enemy of me could

only lend you a clue....



Chorus: Oh what a shame, nothing can stay the same

(Shame ! Shame !)
