lyrics

35 YEARS

He suddenly had disappeared
and you all whispered as to where,
but as far as he was concerned,
he was just no longer there.

Another week, another chronicle
of disappearance.
A sudden event became
a perpetual occurrence.

Another day, and I'm still here -
may as well be another year.
Came full circle and got nowhere;
it's as though I am still there.
35 years of freedom
to what?
from what?
of what?
for what?

Years wash by, and occasionally
it occurs to me think about you.
If I'm just your gossip and rumors,
I'm better off without you.

There are stranger things that I've
come not to miss,
such as having to ask someone
for permission to piss.

Another day, and I'm still here -
may as well be another year.
Came full circle and got nowhere;
it's as though I am still there.
35 years of freedom
to what?
from what?
of what?
for what?

Vortices of sympathies try to
pull me down and back to Then.
If you wouldn't mind, I'd really prefer
not to do the Time Warp again.

I talk to kids born in a
different millennium
and ignore the shades of history –
there are too many o'em.

Another day, and I'm still here -
may as well be another year.
Came full circle and got nowhere;
it's as though I am still there.
35 years of freedom
to what?
from what?
of what?
for what?
