What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
While window shopping through the past
2
I ran across a looking glass
3
Reflecting moments remaining in a burned out light
4
Tragic magic prayers of passion
5
Stay the same through changing fashions
6
They freeze my mind like water on a winter's night
7
Spent most of my youth
8
Out hobo cruising
9
And all I got for proof
10
Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
11
So goodbye nonbeliever
12
Don't you know that I hate to leave here
13
So long babe, I got the flashback blues.
14
Photographs show the laughs
15
Recorded in between the bad times
16
Happy sailors dancing on a sinking ship
17
Cloudy skies and dead fruit flies
18
Waving goodbye with tears in my eyes
19
Well, sure I made it but ya know it was as hell of a trip.
20
Spent most of my youth
21
Out hobo cruising
22
And all I got for proof
23
Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
24
And ten times what it grieves you
25
That's how much more I hate to leave you now
26
So long babe, I got the flashback blues.
27
Spent most of my youth
28
Out hobo cruising
29
And all I got for proof
30
Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
31
So goodbye nonbeliever
32
Don't you know that I hate to leave here
33
So long babe, I got the flashback blues.
