Stuck In The Past Lyrics - Aimee Mann

Stuck in the past 

Like drawing rings around Saturn 

The shadow is cast 

But now it follows a pattern 

I don't know what that arrangement was 

I could never tell 

But you could 

I had hopes, but the hopes all fell 

Leveled with the smell 

Of new wood 

Stuck in the past 

I plan it only on paper 

Guess I'm the last 

A living memory of vapor 

I don't know what that arrangement was 

I could never tell 

Like you could 

I had hopes, but that's just because 

Hoping was a well 

Where you stood 

I had all this time while Houston dozed 

Where I almost had a line composed 

But the moment passed, the hatch is closed 

Stuck in the past 

Where I'll be pulling that lever 

It happened so fast 

And then it happens forever 

I don't know what that arrangement was 

I could never tell 

Like you could 

Stuck in the past 

Just drawing rings around Saturn
