"New"
(vonHummer)
New shoes getting old, new news getting old, new views getting old, yeah, older all the time,
New rich getting old, new bridge getting old, new bitch getting old, yeah, older all the time,
Stand still a minute let me take you in and pass you along, here we go, here we go: drunken down the road headlong,
Stand still a minute as your minute’s been made, bought, and sold, yes indeed: life is sweet, but only til the moment that the new becomes old…
New toys getting old, new noise getting old, new joys getting old, yeah, older all the time,
New Deal getting old, new feel getting old, new wheels getting old, yeah, older all the time,
Stand still a minute, tell me where I’ve seen your face once before, here we go, here we go: friends forevermore,
Stand still a minute, my mistake: you’re a stranger, I’m told,
I declare, everywhere I look to see the new I see something old…
New wife getting old, new drive getting old, new life getting old, yeah, older all the time,
New York getting old, new work getting old, young jerk getting old, yeah, older all the time
Stand still a minute there’s a breeze freeze-drying my tears, blasting off, blasting off the phantom friends passing here,
Stand still a minute as I ask you coming in from the cold:
What’s new? Dust a few cobwebs off yourself and set your new on the old...
