Once - Live in Boston, Massachusetts, 29-August-2000
I admit it, what's to say? Yeah
I'll relive it without pain
Backstreet lover on the side of the road
I got a bomb in my temple that is gonna explode
I got a sixteen gauge buried under my clothes
I play
Once upon a time, I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time, I could lose myself, yeah
Oh, try and mimic what's insane, ooh
I am in it, where do I stand?
Oh, Indian summer and I hate the heat
I got a backstreet lover on the passenger seat
I got my hand in my pocket, so determined, discreet
I pray
Once upon a time I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah
You think I got my eyes closed
But I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time
Ooh, once upon a time I could control myself, yeah
Once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah, yeah
Once, upon a time I could love myself, yeah
Once upon a time I could love you, yeah
Once, once, once, once
Yeah, once, once, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Okay, you know how I screwed up that one song earlier? Well, this is your punishment for that. Punishment for you, anyway. This is Ed's punishment
