Verse 1:
Seventy-nine
Spirits and wine
my rock n roll wreckage -
I own it, it’s mine.
Seventy-nine
planets align,
eclipse the moon, and you
somehow still outshine
Chorus:
Don’t you know who I forgot I was?
Nothing left to see I’m younger than I know,
and older than I’ll be
Verse 2:
Seventy-nine
born a fault line
Can’t help my earthquakes
might shiver your spine
Seventy-nine
Combust and combine
careful how you step,
a human land mine
Chorus:
Don’t you know who I forgot I was?
Nothing left to see I’m younger than I know,
and older than I’ll be
Don’t you know who I forgot I was?
Nothing left to see I’m younger than I know,
and older than I’ll be
Bridge:
come on like a head-on crash
wheels spinning, upside down
come on like a head-on crash
seen it all, and been around
SOLO
Verse 3:
Seventy-nine
Spirits and wine
your rock n roll wreckage -
that’s where I draw the line
Chorus:
Don’t you know who I forgot I was?
Nothing left to see I’m younger than I know,
and older than I’ll be
Don’t you know who I forgot I was?
Nothing left to see I’m younger than I know,
and older than I’ll be
