Tilt-A-Whirl

When all your heroes are dead and gone
All you have left is a memory
But what do you do when the memory fades
And you can't even remember yesterday
The images remind you but they're still too few
The videos flip a switch but that'll fade too
As the tears flow do you melt away
Or just sleep to wake another day
The things you've missed in this life or the last
You can't make up once they have past
So get off your ass and see the world
It's a roller coaster and a tilt a whirl

See that show, meet the band
Go to that movie eat a hotdog from that stand
Get on a plane and traverse the glob
It will surely excite your temporal lobe
Sail the seas on a cruise to no where
Hang with good friends without a care
Smell wild flowers in enchanted gardens
And call those you wronged to beg their pardon

The images remind you but they're still too few
The videos flip a switch but that'll fade too
As the tears flow do you melt away
Or just sleep to wake another day
The things you've missed in this life or the last
You can't make up once they have past
So get off your ass and see the world
It's a roller coaster and a tilt a whirl

Do what you will while you still have time
Enjoying your life is never a crime
Before too long you may have to go too
And someone else will be trying to remember you

The images remind you but they're still too few
The videos flip a switch but that'll fade too
As the tears flow do you melt away
Or just sleep to wake another day
The things you've missed in this life or the last
You can't make up once they have past
So get off your ass and see the world
It's a roller coaster and a tilt a whirl
