about

(edgy 6/8 mid-tempo folk/rock) 2:50 – portrait of a self-destructive genius falling from grace.

One of our favorite songs on the records, we wanted to really drive this one with some gusto musically. This is a composite of our musical heroes whose substance abuse and self-destructive behavior takes them down as they carry on in denial of the damage their doing to themselves and before you know it, they’ve lost it all and often even their life.

lyrics

It was partly the work and a whole lotta luck,
it was more than a tiny old drop in the bucket
but down where the dream meets the has-been motel
you drained the jim beam in a poet’s farewell

But it was so good while it lasted
it was so good while it lasted
till you took your lead foot off the gas (hit the brakes)
it was so damn good while it lasted

you were the master of the hook line and sinkers
from cradle to tavern with all the big thinkers
where the romance of sin never lost its appeal
and you spend your life turning on dimes and your heals

But it was so good while it lasted
it was so good while it lasted
the die wasn’t set till you cast it
but it was so damn good while it lasted

from your whiskey soaked memories you conjure up the best
and you never once let yourself feel the sting of regret
It was so good
It was so good while it lasted
You had a room at the Ritz but you trashed it
It was so damn good, It was so damn good
It was so damn while it lasted
