Lyrics
He is the Prince of Halcyon Days
He still remembers when life was amazing
He's never seen such glorious ways since then
Today he's looking through pictures and words
That celebrated successes and charm
And now he feels like he's buying the farm again
"Pushing up daisies before your time
Are you crazy?" she said as she left
"The sun is shining, the weather's fine
And you're still breathing"
The statuettes are still shining and bright
Though the engraving is starting to fade
Does anyone still remember his name except him?
All his old friends are still travelling on
They've got their families and homes now to think of
But he's still stuck in a past made of flashbulbs and casual sin
Sit on the couch on your fat behind
What you thinking as she slams the door?
Should take a trip over the Great Divide while you're still breathing
The air of yesterday
Drink from the cup of your lost tomorrows
Isn't it time now to give it up and make a change?
He is the Prince of Halcyon Days
He still remembers when life was amazing
He's never seen such glorious ways since then
