Stuck in the Past
Like drawing rings around Saturn
The shadow is cast
But now it follows a pattern
I don't know what that arrangement was
I could never tell
But you could
I had hopes, but the hopes all fell
Leveled with the smell
Of new wood
Stuck in the past
I plan it only on paper
Guess I'm the last
A living memory of vapor
I don't know what that arrangement was
I could never tell
Like you could
I had hopes, but that's just because
Hoping was a well
Where you stood
I had all this time while Houston dozed
Where I almost had a line composed
But the moment passed, the hatch is closed
Stuck in the past
Where I'll be pulling that lever
It happened so fast
And then it happens forever
I don't know what that arrangement was
I could never tell
Like you could
Stuck in the past
Just drawing rings around Saturn
