Haven’t Learned a Thing

Long shadow, long shadow, tell me where I’ve been
Can you make it a story? I don’t mind if it bores me, as long as it makes sense

Things happen, just happen, la da da , where have I been?

Another episode. Will it just be a standalone? Just more time?

And now it’s night, same as the morning
But now I’m old, and I haven’t learned a thing
And now she’s gone, now he’s returning
Another one talks to God, and I haven’t learned a thing

Long shadow, long shadow, how does all this end?
Halfway through a sentence? Thе words are relentlеss. But so what

Returning, returning la da da, how does this end?

Another episode. Will it just be a standalone? Just more life?

And now I’m right, now I’m mistaken, now he’s destroyed
And I pray I learn something
They changed their name, now Dad’s demented, now I’m in love
What will tomorrow bring?

And now I’m clean
And now I’m wretched
And now I’m clean again
Another year
Dice throw procession
Parade of dreams, just as real as they seem
