(Still) though you took my car (Still) I know you won't get far You'll be sitting still
(Still) when a mile has passed (Still) you'll run out of gas You'll be sitting still
I've lost count of the hours And I've lost track of the time And you know why, darling I lost my watch
In fact, I lost a lot of things When you went away What are you gonna do With all my junk
But still I cling to the memory Of when we used to go together Why I must have gone with you for Ain't that something I can't even remember What I went with you for
But I do remember the nights When we'd stroll hand in hand And I'd look up at the sky And recite your favorite poem Starkle, starkle, little twink
Oh, yeah, that reminds me I've been reading so much About the evils of drinking That I've decided to give it up So I quit reading
Now I don't drink Anything stronger than pop Of course Pop will drink Just about anything
(Still) I wish I had a (Still) and then every day I'd run my still
This flame in my heart Is like an eternal fire It's the worst case of Heartburn I've ever had And I haven't been able to put out Not one little flicker Not even with all this beer I mean tears
My friends think that I'm crazy And maybe I am But I'll carry this torch Just as long as I can
But you know that one of these days It's gonna get awful short And if I don't drop it, well Someday you may just Come home and find that I've made an ash of myself
(Still) though I tote this torch (Still) it's beginning to scorch I can't hold still Ooh, that smarts, ouch
