Cast Of Yesterday

Land locked this place don’t give me no leeway

The same bloody lights, the same bloody freeway

Grand plans are shelved and dreams put on ice

Cliché’s are jammed in the preverbial vice

I hit upon a spark plug, the wheels were in motion

To the wrong God damn coast, to the wrong God damn ocean

The next hostel was to far away

Why are you in a hurry son, livingstone’s my name, he said

I’m just happy with the sun on my shoulders

Rattle your drink, you know were getting older

Tip-toe around the world on your lonesome

I got it tough you know, at least that’s what I told them

I think back to the cast of yesterday

The real stars don’t hit, they ricochet

We started making tracks but didn’t get far

If my memory serves me, we stayed at the bar

But one thing’s for sure, we left on something profound

Just like ‘I’ll call you right back or I’ll see you around’

Reckless abandon was the order of the day

I was mugged on las ramblas in the pouring rain

The half german girl giving nothing away

The dirty little thing, I was never the same, she said

I’m just happy with the sun on my shoulders

Rattle your drink, you know were getting older

Tip-toe around the world on your lonesome

I got it tough you know, at least that’s what I told them

I think back to the cast of yesterday

The real stars don’t hit, they ricochet
