All that's left is for everyone else to come back and we can pretend like 1999 never left.

So it's always 1999 here? Like this:

Here we wait for just another day
Drag our bones to see the others play
A pause as MetaChron flickers grey
Oh, we slip away

Once a time they nearly might have been
Hayes and Fwiffo on a billion screens
No one knew what they could do
Except for me and you
They slip away
They slip away

Cruising space and sweeping stardust
Twinkle twinkle Paul and Fred
We were dumb but you were fun, boys
How I wonder where you are

Now we know there's never ever time
Some of us will always stay behind
In this place it's always 1999
The joke we always knew
Oo-oo
What'sa matter with you?

C'mon, let's go
Slip away

Cruising space and sweeping stardust
Twinkle twinkle Paul and Fred
We were dumb but you were fun, boys
How I wonder where you are

(knockoff of this very fine song)

I got something in my eye.

[Zeracles]

I've danced with you too long.

(In case that's a reference to another DB song . . . writing a book about the man has done something to me.)
