Well, I guess that this is now the end 
                          
Who'd have thought my old friend
                          
We signed the papers and we capped the pen

                             
But I remember you from way back when
                         
'Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
                       
welcome David-what's-his-name-again'

               
Things change the old cliche
                          
If we knew now what we knew yesterday
                          
Oh, we couldn't give it away

                    
I was working at a record store
               
I knew you, you knew the score
                              
Some kind of deal is what we're looking for

               
Time came, and disappeared
                  
No one steered and it got weirder
                     
Help was needed, no one volunteered.

                       
Things change, you got to wait a bit
                             
What made me think that I could weather it?
                                            
You're down before you even notice you've been hit

                                                
And through it all I wondered where the 
                     
Bus was taking you who knew?
                                  
And even though my one and one was always
                                    
Making two I never thought that I was breaking you 

   
Uh oh

        
    

                             
We were victims of the old taboo
                 
But people change we changed too
                            
Just make it count before they get to you.

                 
Things change baby, hold the phone!
                                 
They'll shoot you down like you was Al Capone
                       
Oh, you better go it alone

                                      
Well, I guess that this is now the end 
                  
The paper's signed forget the pen
                  
Wonder if we'll ever meet again?
