I admit it, what's to say
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 .16 gauge buried under my clothes, I play

Once upon a time I could control myself
Once upon a time I could lose myself
Oh try and mimic, what's insane
I am in it, where do I stand?

Indian summer 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
Once upon a time I could lose myself
Once upon a time I could control myself
Once upon a time I could lose myself
Once upon a time I could love myself
Once upon a time I could love you
Once
Once
Once
Once
Once
Once
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

    Ok, ok, ok... We all know the fucking story about this song. What I wanna know, is anyone gonna answer my damn question, from earlier?

    Why is this song listed first on the album instead of "Alive"... Being that it's Act II in the Mamasan Trilogy... Also, why was "Footsteps" not on the album if it's Act III?

    An answer would be nice ya know. Damn! lmao
