Where Have Those Days Gone

Took a trip to California to see where those old days are gone

And the girl that went with them - curiosity, that's all I swear I swear

In Mendocino County thought I saw Thomas Pynchon at the end of the bar

But that's just Rob Brezsny writing his Real Astrology column

Headed up the coast with my only Jewish Mexican friend

Found a bar in Arcata it was the means to an end

In the alley for a smoke got beat up by some aryan goons

Lying in my blood I said "Hey Juan does this mean I'm still a gringo?"

CHORUS:

Where have those days gone

Where have those days gone

Where have those days gone

So we crawled towards the ocean through brambles of olallieberry thorns

While blue lights they flailed, sirens wailed, we were ripped and we were torn

Don't know why we were hiding, never could make that girl wanna stay

It all made sense to me then, it's curiosity that's all I swear
