Old Is New

The heart well it wants what is wants and it'll string you along and you'll find you're just along for the ride
Walls that don't fall but strong dents make impressions
all things I might say at my therapy session
My heart well it wants what it wants and it's worse when it's pinned to your sleeve
Do you know what I mean
searching through planes unforeseen
for a heaven that's fugitive
resistance is futile
Do you know
tell me do you know

They say you're part of the pack
you're just pathetic, a hack
like a Lovelorn Lucy
man you don't stand a chance
Bet it's all you can do just to roll out of bed
put a comb in your hair before he pops in your head
But I can't pretend anymore when he smiles
that my soul doesn't soar
When he comes through the door
life reenters the room
dormant cells reawaken
as if by magic
once listless now static
Do you know
tell me do you know

What's old is new again
sit up straight and pay attention my friends
what's old is new again
about time you got the memo
If I had to do it all again I would
what's old is new again
about time you got the memo

A slow moving poison impeccably chased with a drop
of the nectar that clings to his face
Blank manifestos leave crowds with no roar
writing letters so signed temperamentally yours
What will we do if the chance should befall us
surrender our weaponry lay down our armour
Both stricken and blessed in a state of unrest
with no guarantees
we're not promised our next breath

What's old is new again
sit up straight and pay attention my friends
what's old is new again
about time you got the memo
If I had to do it all again I would
Brand spanking new again
about time you got the memo

and the old is never really old
