Déjà vu All Over Again
I feel like I’ve been here before
Walked thru an open door
Went outside in the pouring rain
Its déjà vu all over again
Like running rats on a Möbius strip
Trapped inside an Escher pic
No start, no end, just outside in
Its pretzel logic with a shot of gin
Dreams to share
Hopes to dare
A love to give
A time to live
Each step to take
A choice to make
Its deja vu all over again
Prometheus created humans from clay
Stole the God’s fire so men could play
Chained to a rock, to shake and shiver
Each day an eagle came and ate his liver
Dreams to share
Hopes to dare
A love to give
A time to live
Each step to take
A choice to make
Its déjà vu all over again
Do you ... make it happen
Do you ... watch it happen
Do you ... wonder what happened
You wake up each morning ... it begins again
There’s a maudlin tale of a narcissistic mog
Who turned a prince into a frog
That poor frog prince so wanted a kiss
He gave it all up for a moment of bliss
Dreams to share
Hopes to dare
A love to give
A time to live
Each step to take
A choice to make
Its deja vu all over again
