And the days are elastic
We just snap and they're passing
While we're laughing at the magic
Of new chapters and their patterns
And I keep on looking backwards
Expressed in abstraction
Sunglasses refracting
An Aladdin to a Jasmine
And all the people you knew were the actors
And I keep on
Anybody trying to hear a love song
All we got are these summer months
Anybody trying to hear a love song
Nineteen ninety ninety ninety nine
Nineteen ninety ninety ninety nine
Nineteen ninety ninety ninety nine
Nineteen ninety ninety ninety nine
And my thoughts are sporadic
The habits of a savage
While I'm swallowing the tragic
News rapidly happening
And I keep on looking backwards
Like a magnet to my gadget
Back flat on my mattress
See the caption and imagine
That all the people you knew were the actors
And I keep on looking backwards
Anybody trying to hear a love song
All we got are these summer months
Anybody trying to hear a love song
Nineteen ninety ninety ninety nine
Nineteen ninety ninety ninety nine
Nineteen ninety ninety ninety nine
Nineteen ninety ninety ninety nine
