Good afternoon! May I introduce myself?
With a story to be told you may need help
I know you were a headline for some time
But now you're part of a motionless mime
Lights have dimmed and times have changed
And the world is watching a different stage
Don't you think it's time we had a younger face?

Is better fed on reruns, no shame
So tell me ...

Tell me, why won't you let go?
How long do you think you'll last
Living with a continuous past
As you stare at us we say,
