Roaring 20s

Backstory

I always had a curiosity about the 1920s and 30s in American history.

Lyrics

I was borrowing time like the gambler
I was Rome I was New Orleans
Those times burned bright both day and night
Til I woke from that fever dream

I passed every shining milestone
I went blazing up that path
I was roaring through those twenties love
So I never saw it coming
No I never saw it coming
No I never saw the coming crash

Back then it seemed like everything
Was held by my gravity
And the world and planets circling
Around me orbiting

I passed every shining milestone
I went blazing up that path
I was roaring through those twenties love
So I never saw it coming
No I never saw it coming
No I never saw the coming crash

Those Roaring 20s
Roaring 20s
Felt like history was destiny
Kept calling me pulling me
Like gravity

In the depths of that great depression
All night on the bathroom floor Desperation, medication
Waged my own invisible world war

I passed every shining milestone
I went blazing up that path
I went roaring through those 20s love
And we never saw it coming
No we never saw it coming
But you kept me through the war and crash
