Lyrics

Today it's a bit of poetry Hair thrown back a wink of coquetry It was just the light that caught you right Casting shadows on my mind I know I'm too obstinate to ever learn a damn thing Keep on playing over the same old string You never tied all that tight No habit is still a habit to me And I know and I know It gets old but how And I know and I know It's History Now I know we sung this song before Out on the river dock or was it the ocean floor And how I could say just one wrong word Everything you did you did so good And I know it's a double edge sword Every line we speak is equivocal A parallel dichotomy The way it's got to be And I know and I know It's so old but how And I know and I know It's History Now Tomorrow it'll be philosophy Arched in the doorway the Sphinx entices me Like a fantasy I become what I see The cold hard pavement staring back up at me And I know it's History Now Written in the furrows of our brow Condensation on the glass She leaves for Belgium and don't look back And I know and I know It's so old but how And I know and I know It's History Now
