Take up the old lost cause Again, for the Herostratic name But the moment’s gone; the Event is missed No action from the crippled wrist The steeplechase that’s all in vain You’re all the same He said directly to you As your failures start to mount high Lessons that you thought you learned The money spent not earned Moments missed like all in time It’s what you do. Run headlong down hill, thrown out any better plans Fail again, fail better; go home with empty hands Run headlong down hill, gave up any will to change. Situations arise; in the end you do the same.
