Nostalgia (5:05)
I came because I had to know
Now i’m flipping switches in the dashboard glow
See my blue face in the glass curve around
I float above the silent vine- pause for –
The way her waist bent just like time
Then rocket past the point of exploitation
And east over the dateline
Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be
Still you wore it well…
You can’t wear it next to me
A kid so safe, naïve, and cool
Democracy’s some word from school
I’m up here lonely as I’m strong
Passing time on your dime
Spinning dishes and smashing plates
Are much more fun to watch from space
But no impressive bloodline is gonna
Shake you loose, not this time
Your cool idol grip just makes you blind
All the time
Nostalgia
Still you wear it well…
Like something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
Shift something old to something new
Something lifeless, tired, and true
Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be
And love ain’t what it ever was
And love ain’t what it ever was
