That Time

Lyrics (from the Begin to Hope liner notes):
Hey remember the time when I found a human tooth down on Delancey
Hey remember that time we decided to kiss anywhere except the mouth
Hey remember that time when my favorite colors was pink and green
Hey remember that month when I only ate boxes of tangerines
So cheap and juicy!
Hey remember that time when I would only read Shakespeare
Hey remember that other time when I would only read the backs of cereal boxes
Hey remember that time I tried to save a pigeon with a broken wing
A street cat got him by morning and I had to bury pieces of his body in our building’s playground
I thought I was gonna be sick
Hey remember that time when I would only smoke Parliaments
Hey remember that time when I would only smoke Marlboros
Hey remember that time when I would only smoke Camels
Hey remember that time when I was broke
I didn’t care I'd just bum from my friends
Bum ba bum ba bum bum...
Hey remember that time when you OD’ed
Hey remember that other time when you OD’ed for the second time
Well in the waiting room while waiting for news of you
I hallucinated I could read your mind
And I was on a lot of shit too but what I saw, man,
I tell you it was freaky
Freaky
