Hardened faces, no expression A life's worth of ephemera Well you don't get the impression You can't trust the camera
Presence of mind Standing inclined against the bright sun of the future
When we saw that play about past lives I can't remember the name of it Walked in Times Square out past midnight Back when it was more dangerous
Caught in space Printed in pain inside the walls of how we were
On a clear day you can see almost forever
In the plate glass, my reflection Seems something is missing And I feel like I'm stuck on the inside Of a television
Burned on the screen The light-up American Dream just not the one I thought I found
Can't shake this feeling that I've seen this all somewhere before Doesn't quite add up but I guess everything's accounted for There's a time and a place I know, I just never found it then But I keep an open mind that we still might meet again
