Lyrics
Jill (spoken): Hi, my name is Jill. I'd like to tell you a story about some friends of mine that happened a while ago (sung): There were days back in the day When we were young and wild and playing And in glamour and enchantment, we all dwelled We might have teetered on the brink But in our fun, we didn't think Much of the future or of prudence or our health And I loved them they loved me We were free we were naive There were oh so many things I can’t explain But all you really need to know Is that we loved each other so And I never thought they'd ever go away ... So post-humans are a thing We're very rare we move between The narratives, that is the worlds that you know There were five of us back then Not counting William and within A strange dimension made of dreams we made our home We explored and how we played With reality in ways That were thrilling like a drug we were enthralled We didn't think of caution we Care and discretion did not heed I never thought those days would ever be so lost Sometimes I dream, magazines, smiling starlets Glamour and haze, how they wave From days that are now long since swept Dazzle and shine, lost lives, once upon a memory Till sad old ladies alone In a dark home is all that is left ... Way far out on level five Which does strange things to your mind In a tower alien and ancient we Built a playhouse where we played Games both mind-bending and strange Learned to tweak manipulate reality Such adventures, such applause For a moment we were gods But youth misjudges many things it's true Such as toll and consequence All the wine went to our heads And eventually, all bills will become due Sometimes I dream, magazines, smiling starlets Glamour and haze, how they wave From days that are now long since swept Dazzle and shine, lost lives, once upon a memory Till sad old ladies alone In a dark home is all that is left Back in the days, back in the days, lost in a memory Time is a maze, leads you astray, so far away Back in the days, back in the days, lost in a memory Memories so fine whitewashed by your mind back in the day
