Lyrics

The day is dead and all's been said.
The fire's down to ember.
In fading light, the night ignites.
The old inferno burns and I remember
If I could, I'd return to the crossroads
When dread defers to longing for
Times forever furious with feeling.
If I could, I'd recapture the rapture
Of the ideas that he had.
My younger self heeds not what I could tell him.
Right now I'd blast his brainstorms out
(Get with it. You gotta get with it)
But would I tame his game this time tomorrow?
Whatever next? Shall I take up golf
When the season's dry and warm
Or start sending socks to fishermen in a snowstorm?
For my rooftop's slate was slashed with snow
When certain sure that I could go
To the over-sixties sessions at the swimming pool
Where the shallows speak of numbered days
Since surcease from their labour pains:
Neighbourhood armistice with eternity.
A map of maps and facts on facts,
(Get with it. You gotta get with it)
Will there be talk of talk this time tomorrow?
 
Who's that stranger in the mirror now?
(Get with it. You gotta get with it)
Will he be when I look this time tomorrow?
He lives in cardboard folios
Of cuttings that I kept
From when trash was a newsflash across the world.
Sending socks to fishermen!
(Get with it. You gotta get with it)
(Get with it. You gotta get with it)
(Get with it.)
