I do remember, like a punch in the face
I've never felt so alive since 1999
The time when we got it all out

How can I forget the nights we killed
Every summer night, you know the sun never sets around here
That's what we wait for all year

Your band came to town, I was too young to know
You were younger than I am now in 1983
You came home with a black eye

Look behind you, they are after you, close your eyes
Use your sharp tools and high stakes, they are far, far, far behind
Get them out of your mind

This is who I ever was and always been
Original, the truth, what else
A living legend, always been
Somehow just corrected, polite and defected

I'm not complaining, but I'm not making it easy
I think you understand, I never want this to end
And I have kept my promises

How can I forget, shaking every memory
Looking back, when the sun never set around here
And we waited all year

This is who I ever was and always been
Original, the truth, what else
A living legend, always been
Somehow just corrected, polite and defected

Original, oh oh oh, same old
Living legend, oh oh oh
Never been so close before

And what they say is not always right
Original, you know what's right
Living legend, living dead
Somehow, somehow

Original, oh oh oh, same old
Living legend, oh oh oh
Never been so close before
