He used to drink He used to drink a lot He used to rock out He used to smoke pot He used to bum around With all his skater friends He used to draw pictures He drew until the end That was when the cells mutated The Philadelphia dream was created In him, In him He used to skate He skated all the time He used to be shy To see me in the summertime We'd go to the PNE With cash from Al and Jean And check out all the rides Though we were scared of heights [Chorus] He used to drink He used to drink a lot He used to rock out He used to smoke pot He used to play in bands With all his skater friends He played a guitar Right until the end [Chorus]
