You have gotten much thinner,
You’re looking 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 then you’re likely to remain.
You play old music,
Well, some of it’s a bore,
To me it’s all irrelevant, like 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...
Take another trip 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 then you’re likely to remain.
It’s another flat testimony, (testimony)
Inflated with emotional gas, (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; 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 called, “wolf” we…
We don’t believe you anymore,
We watch you travel back in time to...
Take another trip down memory lane,
You take too many trips down memory lane,
You take another trip down memory lane,
Go down there once too often and you’re likely to remain.
Memory lane,
You take too many trips down memory lane, (memory lane)
You take too many trips down memory lane, (memory lane)
You take too many trips down memory lane, (memory lane)
You take too many trips down memory lane, (memory lane)
You take too many trips down memory lane, (memory lane)
You take too many trips down memory lane, (memory lane)
You take too many trips down memory lane, (memory lane)
You take too many trips down memory lane, (memory lane)
You take too many trips down memory lane,
You take too many trips down memory lane,
You take too many trips down memory lane,
(fade)
