Tired Statue

It's sad but true, Your style has finally gone out
Your fire has finally burned out
Once upon a time you were the finest thing
You used to steal the shine from a diamond ring
But you're looking tired now

You don't wanna be that sad lady
Staying too late at the bar
Or dancing too long with the stars
A shiny new chin and expensive clothes
A nip tuck here and a brand new nose
Once you start you've gone too far

Act your age, read the lines that line your face
Statues fall and feelings change
Don't be ashamed, every tattoo is born to fade
To let the new age have their day

It seems like centuries since you stood up and put on that crown
You sure broke all those old forms down
Your Roman years and those sea green robes seem
More appropriate for retirement homes
You see we need some new blood now

So step off that stage where you spent all your life
Standing there like some kinda sign
We see big things in your future dear
Earlybird specials on dinner deals
Just embrace the new routines!

The times have changed
Every king's surrendered, our greatest poets mumbling cliches
The lights of fame
Every artist settles, a pound of flesh for an ounce of red paint
There's no pain
When tired statues tumble
Ain't no point in taking sides or pointing blame
Don't be so vain
Even Dylan's selling cars today
Everything stays the same
La dah de dah
Even the changes change!
Nothing ever stays the same
La la de da de dad a
Nothing ever stays the same
Even the everything!
Ladedeadada
Everything changes change
Laddedodadadodaaa
Change is in everything
Ladedodadaodedaodada!
