Lyrics
Like a finger pointing at the moon Obscuring all in its way Got caught up in your own fantasy This dog has had its heyday Mortal, human Must be strange to be so common Mortal, broken Just in time to be forgotten Mortal, not immortal anymore I guess it seemed that it would last forever You only had to wake up and live it large But that was way too hard Now you’re just a hiccup Mortal, human Reality has caught you nappin’ Mortal, broken Hey, but how could this shit happen Mortal, after all There might be a tear stained pillow in the morning But baby’s got it made tonight A rum soaked icon in the hallway Baby’s had a real good ride I don’t believe in anything But holding my possessions It’s not a thing to fret about It’s just a slight obsession Doesn’t really matter when I will always be… Immortal, I’ll be immortal What if there’s a hell and heaven I wonder who’s gonna make the call For someone to catch your fall Anyone can see it’s gonna be… One more tick inside the time bomb One last flight into the sun Even though no one will remember Baby’s had a real good run

Stunning. From the half-minute rock-opera intro to the up-tempo opening verse ... to the audacious "immortal" midway clock interlude to the classical Bach-style flourish, this is seven minutes of power-packed musical and vocal wizardry.

Atmospheres going right back to the 70, when Prog Rock was so very popular. Matt, I think it's your voice I'm hearing. It's reminding me to "Video killed the Radio Starr" of the Buggles. Wow, this is just incredible well made. So much is happening here. Think I have to read the lyrics as well which is impossible while writing this. Good guitars, so very well arranged with a perfect sound! Candy for your ears! I'm just wondering. Where are the stars we used to give in the old version? Is it just changed into Like with a heart?

Brilliant (as always!). Everything about this song is top notch - the lyrics, the arrangement, the concept, the musicianship and the production. Enviable track in every way.
