The past is stiff, it will not bend
And that can hurt you to no end
When you look behind
Everything’s firmly intertwined
Or cast in blocks of solid stone
Each chance already blown
Oh, wouldn’t it be fantastic
If the past were just a little plastic
You could visit who you used to be
Rebook that trip quite differently
And do things another way
Imagine what could come one day
The past is stiff, it will not bend
And that can hurt you to no end
When you look behind
Everything’s firmly intertwined
Or cast in blocks of solid stone
Each chance already blown
Oh, wouldn’t it be fantastic
If the past were just a little plastic
