Memory Lane

You have gotten much thinner
You're lookin' like a shadow
It's from dwelling on the might-have-beens
Living in a time-warp
To whom am I speaking? Some ghost from the past?
While you think about old glories
You're fading real fast
You take too many trips down memory lane
You take too many trips down memory lane
You take another trip down memory lane
You go down there once too often and you're likely to remain

You play old music

Well some of it's a bore

To me it's all irrelevantLike Haight Street and love beads

Still you want to make a statement

But this nostalgia thing hangs on

Your friends all miss the point cause

They see where you've gone

They've seen that you've gone to...

It's another flat testimony

Inflated with emotional gas

Though the truth never changes

Shouldn't you, couldn't you Shouldn't you, couldn't you (I'm trying)

Couldn't you, shouldn't you, couldn't you, won't you!

You make a list of all your failures

You count all your heartaches

Please sit up straight at the table

And eat your words

Much too weak

I think complaining is a crime

And like the boy who cries wolf

We don't believe you anymore, we watch you

Travel back in time to...

*sigh*
this is my predicament at this time...
i am working and reading Campus Life magazine...from 1981!

i sometimes think that i like the past more than the present

except that i was not part of that era.
so my ranting and raving gets me nowhere
and i cannot go back in time
and so i take "too many trips down memory lane."
i
sometimes

lose
focus
of
the
present and the now
and
dream
of
back then...
meh,
i should stop.

memory lane is full of experiences i have never had,
