lyrics

Desmond and Molly hopped on the trolly
That runs along the Memory Lane
This ride their last chance to visit their romance
That lives in a place no one can explain
The pair had departed to back where they started
To ride what had eroded in time
Their love was past brokenhearted and old enough to get carded:
Des and Molly at the end of their line

So long and so what's new
Welcome to a world that makes no sense to you
It's not good or bad It's squinting at the sun
The price of life is life goes on

Their kids were slower than molasses but both quicker than their classes
Closer siblings none were more than Mel and Pam
Found then lost their fortunes within a year or so
They were both bankers ruined by a royal scam
And even if we die alone at least we lived together
Locked ourselves inside a room and wrote some songs
They rode that trolley to the market where they terminally parked it
At the station back where once they both belonged

So long and so what's new
Welcome to a world that makes no sense to you
It's not good or bad It's squinting at the sun
The price of life is life goes on

The price of life is life goes on
The price of life is life goes on
The price of life is life goes on

I wanna sing like I feel when I listen to you
The reverb tail forever to be told
Syrupy and soulful as I hear it in my heart's ear
Hi-fi crystal clear
Evolution is just getting older
Education's just one more degree
When they were failed by intuition they'd Considered their tuition paid
One branch further up the tree

So long and so what's new
Welcome to a world that makes no sense to you
It's not good or bad It's squinting at the sun
The price of life is life goes on

So long and so what's new
Welcome to a world that makes no sense to you
It's not good or bad It's squinting at the sun
The price of life is life goes on
The price of life is life goes on
The price of life is life goes on

The price of life is life goes on
The price of life is life goes on
The price of life is life goes on
