In a Van

Would I show my age If I dare air the memory Of your oeuvre? If it's all to the same Somehow it takes on a different sheen Seen from afar And the requiem We wreck the real you To dream up some Angelic relic of Falling down, like none other Falling down, all eager to please Falling down, like none other New nostalgia, just leave me be In a van down by the river, I am In a van living the life In my van down by the river, I am In a van living the life Though we all get caught Somehow just playing the same damn parts Over and over But the brilliant bits At our best just reflections lit by brighter light And isn't it just a little bit sad? But add back the laugh track, mask all that Falling down, like none other Falling down, all eager to please Falling down, like no other New nostalgia, just leave me be In a van down by the river, I am In a van living the life In my van down by the river, I am In a van living the life
