lyrics

Well, you pass me by everyday/you look right past my face/so familiar, I’m commonplace/soon forgotten/soon replaced. I’m your table/I’m that chair/I’m those fancy shoes you used to wear/I’m the Maytag, the old Frigidaire/deemed obsolete now, beyond repair. And all things pass away/tomorrow’s things replace todays/and even you will not escape/the place for all things yesterday. Well I disappear/then I shine like the chrome/on that old Bellaire/your grand-dad used to own/on the retail rack, when you couldn’t ignore/in the back of your closet/you don’t wear me no more. And when my new smell has all worn off/I’ll be hidden away in a room of moth-balls/boxed and labeled, second-hand store/where one man’s junk is another one’s gold. Hey…all things pass away/tomorrow’s things replace todays/and even you will not escape/the place for all things/yesterday. And now I’m all weathered and worn/my colors are faded/my upholstery torn/on my way where old things go/buried In a landfill for all things gone. And the clock ticks faster for all things made/it’s first then it’s last, then it’s thrown away/present then past/and it will be/the next new thing fated for obscurity. Hey…all things pass away/tomorrow’s things replace todays/and even you will not escape/the place for all things/yesterday.
