Lyrics
A Good Idea At The Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well the smoke's all cleared, the bodies all counted
And the first on the list looks a lot like me
And wounds get licked, retreats get mounted
When you're blind to everything
That everybody else can see
But it seemed like a good
A good idea at the time...at the time...
Mistakes get made and things get broken
And picking up the pieces
Never was a strength of mine
And eyes shut tight
And a heart wide open
It's just a bad combination
And trouble's comin' down the line
But it seemed like a good
A good idea at the time...at the time
Ain't no wishful thinking
Ain't no best laid plans
Ain't no way around it tonight...
But it seemed like a good
A good idea at the time...at the time
But it seemed like a good
A good idea at the time...at the time
