lyrics

Mozart will always be Mozart, just like disco will always be dead.
But me as long as I’m living I’m changing with each drop of sweat that rolls off of my head.
The falling will always be certain, but the landing don’t have to be hard.
Yes, and sometimes you’ll find when you’re knocked down a level
You’re free to decide who you are.

‘Cause a new day is dawning with every day’s end.
And we might be returning to clay, so make use of your lungs while you can.
If one thing I’ve learned is true, the shade’s bound to close on you.
So turn another leaf over all you broke-down high-rollers
And I’ll see you the next time around.

‘Cause you can never go back where you came from—all the dirt roads are highways now, friend.
But it gets me to thinking that this has already happened and I’m just passing through once again.
And that sign by the side of the railroad ain’t changed since I lived here it seems.
But there’s rust that keeps growing at the speed of a century. The grandkids might know what I mean.

‘Cause a new day is dawning with every day’s end.
And we might be returning to clay, so make use of your lungs while you can.
If one thing I’ve learned is true, the shade’s bound to close on you.
Last words to my brothers, all you lost and you lovers:
I’ll see you the next time around.

Mozart will always be Mozart: a young man who laid himself down.
But me as long as I’m living I’m changing with each drop of sweat that rolls off of my brow.
Oh, as long as I’m living I’m changing with each drop of sweat that rolls off of my brow.
